How its owners fared
Too few finished loans to compare
Five Star Bath Solutions has 14 finished loans. One more failure either way would move it several places, so a position would be noise. See the peers anyway →
We only know how 14 of this brand’s 73 loans ended. The government withholds the outcome on 48 of the others, so everything above is based on 19% of the record.

What else the filing says
There is more in Five Star Bath Solutions’s filing
What it costs to open is free, above. Access opens what the franchisor disclosed about earning it back — here and on every other brand we have read.
One brand of your choosing opens free with an account, for a year. From $49 for more, up to $199 for every brand we have read. Nothing renews itself.
Takes an email and a password. You land back here and choose which brand to open — it stays open for a year. Or see what more costs.Already have an account?
What that opens
- Every ongoing fee in Item 6 priced in dollars a year, not just the royalty
- How many franchisees left that year, which a headline outlet count hides
- How long the agreement binds you, and on what terms it renews
- A five-year model you drive with your own rent, wages, borrowing and ramp
The loan record stays free — how many of this brand’s franchisees borrowed from a bank to buy in, and how many never paid it back. That is a public government record and we do not charge for it. What you pay for is only what we read out of the franchisor’s own disclosure document.
