National Radon Defense Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2026

Background

National Radon Defense is a rare kind of business - you get the chance to build something profitable, scalable, and genuinely meaningful. Most people have no idea radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. They don't know the danger sitting right under their feet. That gap creates a massive need in communities everywhere, and it gives you an opportunity to step in as the trusted local expert who helps families breathe safer air. The demand is rising fast, and the industry is still hugely underserved. This is a chance to build a business that matters - one that literally saves lives.

One of the things I love most about this model is how quickly you can get started. There's no big retail buildout, no six-figure overhead, none of the heavy drama that usually comes with launching a new venture. With a low upfront investment, the right training, and a simple set of tools, you can hit the ground running. We've designed NRD so you can start generating revenue early, grow at your own pace, and scale with confidence.

And you won't be building this alone. Our training and support system is deep. You get NRD University - our online learning platform - plus hands-on technical and sales training at our headquarters in Omaha. You get access to the Command Center, our 24/7 resource hub filled with playbooks and tools. We host monthly Mastermind calls, we've built a strong dealer community, and we back you with a custom website, SEO strategy, exclusive vendor pricing, and our proprietary software, Radon Shield Pro.
Everything we do is designed to help you win.

As your business grows, you get to decide the role you want to play. In the early days, you're hands-on - hiring your team, running appointments, installing systems, and building momentum. As you add salespeople, installers, and office staff, you naturally step out of the weeds and become a strategic business leader that manages and leads a team.

At the end of the day, this business is about impact. Every test you run and every system you install lowers someone's risk of lung cancer and creates peace of mind. You're not just building a company - you're protecting families, strengthening your community, and creating a future you can be proud of. If you're looking for an opportunity with real purpose, strong earning potential, and a team that has your back, National Radon Defense is something special.

2026 Franchise Requirements Needed to Own a National Radon Defense Franchise.

What does a National Radon Defense Franchise Cost?

National Radon Defense franchise fees for 2026:

Cash Investment: $60,000 - $80,000
Total Investment: $60,000 - $80,000 (dealership - no Item 19 requirement)
Minimum Net Worth: $250,000

Average Number of Employees at Start/at Maturity: 1 start/ 10 at Maturity
Item 19: No
SBA Registry: No
Visa Candidates: No
Passive Ownership: No
Semi-Passive Ownership: Yes

Specify: National Radon Defense can be structured as a semi-passive business once the owner builds a strong team and reaches the appropriate scale. Our model follows a proven stair-step approach: in the early stages, the owner is hands-on, hiring the first key roles - salespeople, installation technicians, and office support. Once those positions are in place and trained, the owner steps out of most technical tasks and focuses primarily on leadership, culture, and financial performance.

As the business grows and reaches consistent volume, owners with strong leadership skills can choose how involved they want to be. Some owners eventually transition into a semi-passive role by hiring a capable Operations Manager to oversee day-to-day operations. This creates a scalable structure where the owner focuses on strategy and oversight rather than daily execution.

While NRD is not "passive out of the gate," it absolutely becomes semi-passive with time, the right hires, and disciplined execution of our operating system. Owners who follow the model and build a strong team have the flexibility to run the business with reduced day-to-day involvement while still driving strong performance.


Home-Based: Yes, although a small physical office outside the home is eventually preferred with business maturity. 
B2B: Yes, but primarily B2C
Master Franchise Opportunities: No
Veteran Discount: No

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.
