NATIONAL PROPERTY INSPECTIONS Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), NATIONAL PROPERTY INSPECTIONS reported 195 franchised outlets at year end. 13 of 194 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 6.7%— while 14 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved -6.7% over 2022–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 221 | 214 | 203 | 194 |
| Opened | 19 | 11 | 5 | 14 |
| Transfers | 3 | 3 | 7 | 4 |
| Terminations | 8 | 10 | 9 | 6 |
| Non-renewals | 8 | 9 | 4 | 6 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 15 | 3 | 1 | 1 |
| Outlets at end | 209 | 203 | 194 | 195 |
| Net change | -12 | -11 | -9 | +1 |
6 terminations + 6 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 13 exits ÷ 194 at start = 6.7%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (4) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (0) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.

A broker is paid by the franchisor to place you. An independent CPA is paid by you — and the job is pressure-testing NATIONAL PROPERTY INSPECTIONS's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
