Lighting Squad Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2026

Background

Here is the short version of what a Lighting Partners territory looks like for a business like Matt's Lawn Service:

Two+ revenue streams, one crew:

  • Holiday lighting: residential installs typically run $3,000-8,000; commercial jobs $10,000-50,000+. Install, service, takedown and storage are all billed, and customers rebook year over year at 70-85%.
  • Permanent architectural lighting (app-controlled LED, Govee Pro class product): installed once, maintained under an annual service agreement. This is the year-round revenue that keeps a landscaping crew busy through your slow months.
  • Additional custom lighting solutions as the franchisee develops in tandem with corporate. Many of our franchises have done this.


Recurring by design
Annual maintenance and storage contracts lock the customer in. Year two is easier than year one, and year three is easier than year two.

We handle the front end, you close and install Lighting Partners LLC runs the national marketing, the Prospectr digital lead pipeline, and our own calling reps who set the appointments. You run estimates, installs and the customer relationship in a protected territory.

Low capital entry, proven system
Total investment runs $50000-119,000 depending on territory size, with a 75% revenue share to you and a typical 12-18 month breakeven. The playbook is 6+ years of real operations, not a binder.

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
