- Franchise fee
- $49,500 initial franchise fee, reported from the 2023 FDD Item 5 by third-party FDD summary franchisepayback.com/franchise/icryo (accessed 2026-08-10). CONFLICT: franchiseoverview.com/company/icryo, citing a 2024 FDD, reports $29,250–$45,000 (accessed 2026-08-10). iCRYO does not publish the fee on its own site. Treat as third-party-reported, not brand-confirmed.
- Initial investment — low end
- $475,000 — 2023 FDD Item 7 low end, reported independently by franchisepayback.com/franchise/icryo and franchisefasttrack.io/franchise/icryo (both accessed 2026-08-10). Two independent summaries agree on this figure.
- Initial investment — high end
- $1,205,000 — 2023 FDD Item 7 high end per franchisepayback.com (accessed 2026-08-10); franchisefasttrack.io states the same range rounded to $1.2M (accessed 2026-08-10). iCRYO's own franchise page says only that "total costs can be upward of $1M" (icryo.com/cryotherapy-franchise, accessed 2026-08-10), which is consistent with the high end.
- Royalty
- Third-party FDD summaries disagree and iCRYO does not publish the figure. franchisepayback.com reports 5%–6.5% of gross sales (2023 FDD Item 6, accessed 2026-08-10); peersense.com/franchise/icryo reports 5% (2023 FDD, accessed 2026-08-10); franchiseoverview.com reports 6.5% of gross sales (2024 FDD, accessed 2026-08-10). Verify against the current FDD before relying on it.
- Ad / brand fund
- franchisepayback.com reports a 2.00% national brand/advertising fund (2023 FDD Item 6, accessed 2026-08-10). CONFLICT: franchiseoverview.com instead reports a $15,000 marketing-fund contribution (2024 FDD, accessed 2026-08-10). Separately, iCRYO's own franchise page confirms pre-opening, opening and ongoing advertising support but states no percentage.
- Liquid capital required
- $200,000 liquid capital plus good credit — stated by iCRYO on its own franchise pages, icryo.com/start-cryotherapy-franchise-business and icryo.com/cryotherapy-franchise (accessed 2026-08-10). iCRYO also describes the model as SBA approved on the same pages.
- Net worth required
- No domestic single-unit net worth requirement is published. For the INTERNATIONAL MASTER FRANCHISE only, iCRYO states $1M to $10M net worth depending on market/country (icryo.com/international-franchise-opportunities, accessed 2026-08-10). Do not read the master-franchise figure as the single-unit requirement.
- Term length
- 10 years, renewable if requirements are met (Entrepreneur franchise directory listing, read 2026-08-12)
- Multi-unit commitment
- No minimum multi-unit commitment is published. iCRYO states that both single-unit and multi-unit ownership are available (icryo.com/hero-program-veteran-franchise, accessed 2026-08-10). Separately, iCRYO states 280+ franchises awarded against 50+ open locations (icryo.com, accessed 2026-08-10) — the gap between awarded and open is a fact an operator should ask the franchisor to explain directly.
- Territory model
- Third-party summaries disagree. franchisepayback.com (2023 FDD, accessed 2026-08-10) describes a defined territory, typically a three-mile radius or geographic boundaries such as ZIP codes or city lines, with non-exclusive protections. franchiseoverview.com (2024 FDD, accessed 2026-08-10) describes the territory as exclusive. iCRYO's own franchise pages do not describe the territory model beyond stating "territories are filling up quick" and citing 280+ franchises awarded against 50+ open units. Confirm exclusivity in the current FDD Item 12 — this materially changes the deal.
Reported unit economics (FDD Item 19)
No FPR published. iCRYO makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, per three independent third-party FDD summaries: franchisepayback.com (2023 FDD), peersense.com (2023 FDD) and franchiseoverview.com (2024 FDD), all accessed 2026-08-10. No AUV, revenue or profit figure for an iCRYO unit could be sourced from any acceptable source. An operator cannot underwrite this brand from published revenue data and must request franchisee validation calls and Item 19-equivalent data directly.
