Preservan Franchise Disclosure Document 2025: Guide for Prospective Owners

Investing in a Preservan franchise — a business specializing in residential and commercial wood repair and restoration — is an opportunity that combines craftsmanship with growing demand for sustainable home services. But before signing the dotted line, prospective franchisees must fully understand what they’re agreeing to. The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) offers critical insights into the business model, legal obligations and financial expectations.

To help you navigate this essential document, here’s a breakdown of the most important FDD sections.

Franchise disclosure

Preservan Franchising LLC was founded in 2022 and is based in Oklahoma City. The brand operates under the Preservan name and licenses a proprietary system for offering wood restoration services.

• Travis Phibbs — COO
