What Franchise Services, Inc. does

Franchise Services, Inc. (legally Franchise Services, LLC) is a privately held franchise management company headquartered in Mission Viejo, California, founded in 1996 when Sir Speedy acquired PIP. The company operates a family-controlled portfolio of four wholly-owned franchise brands: TeamLogic IT (managed IT services for SMBs, including cybersecurity, cloud, business continuity, and managed AI), and three print/signs/marketing brands — Sir Speedy (established 1968), PIP (established 1965), and Signal Graphics. Franchise Services supports franchisees through a centralized infrastructure that includes the Four Operating Systems Framework (Financial, Sales & Marketing, Operations, Employee Management), the Business Management Support System (BMSS) online collaboration platform, web-to-print technology, training at Print Management University and TeamLogic IT University, and an in-house marketing/advertising agency.

The company generates revenue from initial franchise fees (TeamLogic IT at $49,500; Sir Speedy and PIP at $25,000), ongoing royalty payments on franchisee sales, equipment package sales ($4,125-$70,527 depending on brand), and recurring software fees. TeamLogic IT's franchise network exceeded $235 million in 12-month trailing revenue in 2025, and the broader network spans nearly 500 locations across 3 countries, with TeamLogic IT alone at 350+ offices across 41 states plus Puerto Rico and Canada. The customer base for end services is uniformly small-to-medium-sized businesses, while the customer base for the franchise opportunity itself comprises entrepreneurs, including a targeted military veteran segment via the VetFran program.

In 2026, Franchise Services executed a notable strategic shift: TeamLogic IT acquired 30 high-performing franchise territories to establish its first company-owned locations across Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, diversifying beyond its historical pure-franchise model. The company is privately held and Lowe-family controlled (Don Lowe as Chairman, Richard Lowe as President & CEO), with no disclosed venture capital or private equity investment.
