How our fees compare
Published fees from four other pool-industry franchise opportunities, anonymized for comparison.
| Fee type | Poolblu | Brand PPS | Brand A | Brand PS | Brand PW |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Franchise fee | $35,000 | $45,000* | $50,000* | $35,000* | $49,000* |
| Royalty | 8% | 5.50%* | 8%* | 8%* | 10%* |
A candid note on that royalty: 8% is not the lowest figure in the set, and we won’t pretend it is. It funds the expert-staffed call center that quotes, converts, dispatches, and collects for you; the VISION system that runs your operation; and the targeted marketing support behind your territory — the kind of back-office and technology infrastructure most brands charge for separately or don’t offer at all.

About the Franchise Disclosure Document
During the franchise process you’ll receive our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). It details every startup cost behind the estimated initial investment (Item 7), along with your obligations, our obligations, and the full terms of the franchise agreement.
We encourage you to review it carefully — and with your attorney and financial advisor — before you make any decision. Questions about the numbers? Call us at (262) 348-9410 or email contact@poolblu.com.
The numbers work harder with your name on them.
Request franchise information and we’ll walk you through the investment, the FDD, and your market — no obligation.
