Starting a business comes with a lot of questions.
We answer some of the most popular ones.

The future of flooring looks bright, and we think anyone interested in starting a flooring business should understand the FCI difference.
We are a disruptor in the $48 billion residential flooring industry.

We help our customers find the perfect product for them right where they will be using it most: in their homes.

We offer an affordable opportunity in the expanding flooring industry. The total investment cost ranges from $154,400 – $341,000.

While we cannot make any guarantees about profits and earnings we do invite you to review Item 19 of our FDD to understand how our franchise locations did last year. Our top 10% performing franchisees landed an average of $3.9 million in gross revenue in 2022.
The franchise fee for Floor Coverings International is $50,000 plus a territory fee of $40,000 each (minimum of 2).
An advantage of joining a franchise is that you gain access to a proven business model. With the payment of these fees, you’ll receive hands-on support, ongoing training, expert marketing support, and experienced leadership in addition to a team that ensures you have everything you need for your mobile showroom.
We require our franchise owners to have a net worth of $250,000 and $65,000 in liquid assets.
While we do have, but are not required to offer, financing to cover $20,000 of our $50,000 franchise fee, we do not have additional in-house financing to cover the full cost of your investment after your franchise and territory fees. However, we have partnerships with third-party vendors who can assist you in securing the funding you need to start your Floor Coverings International franchise location.
In short – no, you don’t! Many of our most successful franchisees have a background in business, marketing, or sales. Our franchise business is a great opportunity for anyone to be their own CEO and grow an empire.
