Buy an Any Lab Test Now Franchise

Any Lab Test Now is a retail, direct-access lab testing franchise that lets consumers and businesses order thousands of clinical, DNA, drug, and alcohol tests without a physician referral or insurance involvement. Customers walk into a storefront, choose the tests they want, and receive fast, confidential results. Founded in 1992 and franchising since 2007, the brand has grown into the largest lab testing franchise in the U.S., with more than 200 locations nationwide.

The business is built around a retail storefront run by an owner and a small team that includes a certified medical assistant. Revenue comes from both B2C and B2B sources: individuals managing high-deductible plans, HSA/FSA spending, or sensitive testing, alongside employers, staffing agencies, legal firms, and physicians who need drug screening or specimen collection. Locations draw on a nationwide network of laboratories to process results.

What sets the brand apart is its established position in direct-access testing, a diverse service menu spanning consumer and business demand, and a recognised retail format in a category tied to broader healthcare consumerism.

Why buy an Any Lab Test Now Franchise?

Buying an Any Lab Test Now franchise is entry into direct-access healthcare, a category supported by rising healthcare consumerism and demand for affordable, transparent testing. As the largest lab testing franchise in the U.S., the brand carries name recognition an independent testing storefront would struggle to match, plus a broad test menu that spreads revenue across consumer and business clients rather than a single demand source.

The ownership model suits hands-on local operators: a single retail location, a small team, and access to a nationwide laboratory network that handles processing while volume-based ordering keeps supply and inventory costs low. Established B2B and B2G channels — employer drug screening, legal and family-law testing, and physician orders — can steady revenue between walk-in consumer visits.

Any Lab Test Now – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    New owners and their medical assistant attend a weeklong in-person training course in Atlanta covering operations, lab tests, compliance, customer experience, and sales, with a brand certification program for medical assistants. Each franchisee gets a Franchise Business Coach as their main contact, plus access to clinical, DNA, and toxicology specialists and a Client Care and Support Center with call-center services. Ongoing support runs through webinars, regional meetings, and a franchisee conference. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training reaches incoming owners and whether existing staff hold medical-assistant certification.

  2. Ideal Owner

    No medical or healthcare background is required. Any Lab Test Now suits full-time, hands-on owner-operators who are community-minded leaders with a sales growth mindset and strong interpersonal skills. Owners spend their time building local B2B and B2G relationships, marketing in the community, managing a small retail team that includes a certified medical assistant, and overseeing customer experience and compliance. Some managerial experience is preferable. The model fits people comfortable running a customer-facing storefront and engaging actively with both corporate and a peer network of fellow franchisees.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Any Lab Test Now earned Entrepreneur's 2021 Best of the Best ranking as #1 in the Laboratory Services category and appears regularly in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500. The brand was named to Franchise Business Review's Top 200 Franchises for 2026 and holds multiple FBR honours across categories including franchisee satisfaction, recession-proof, and multi-unit franchises. Further recognition includes Franchise Times' Top 400, an Inc. 5000 listing, and the IFA's 2021 Crystal Compass Award. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews and reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    The U.S. direct-to-consumer laboratory testing market was valued at roughly $2.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach about $5.2 billion by 2033 (BioSpace). Growth is driven by healthcare consumerism: high insurance deductibles, wider HSA/FSA use, and demand for affordable, convenient, discreet testing without a physician referral. Employer drug screening, legal testing, and preventive-health interest add steady B2B demand. As an essential service, lab testing has shown resilience across economic cycles, which matters to resale buyers weighing the stability of an existing unit's revenue.
