The Wolf’s Take 🍟

Let’s talk about FRSTeam, a hidden gem in the restoration space quietly stacking up wins. 

FRSTeam isn’t your typical franchise. They specialize in restoring textiles (think carpets, upholstery, even high-end garments) and electronics after water, fire, or smoke damage. 

That means their customers aren’t just homeowners—they’re insurance companies, property managers, and businesses with deep pockets.

Why does that matter? 

Because when disaster strikes, nobody shops around for the cheapest option. They need it fixed fast. And FRSTeam’s franchisees are the ones cashing those checks.

With franchise fees between $35k−45k and royalties at 6%, their model is lean (home-based early on, scaling to $1M+ revenue). Veterans get 15% off, and their 2025 Top Low-Cost Franchise award from Franchise Business Review proves unit economics work.

So if you’re looking for a recession-resistant, low-overhead business with serious growth potential, this might be your play.
