Buy an ARCpoint Labs Franchise

ARCpoint Labs is a business-to-business and direct-to-consumer health and safety testing franchise. Its centers provide drug and alcohol testing, DNA and court-admissible paternity testing, background screening, clinical and wellness panels, occupational health and DOT regulatory-compliance services. Founded in 1998 and franchising since 2005, the brand serves employers, courts and attorneys, physicians and individual consumers across four segments: employer testing, legal and judicial, physician solutions and personal testing.

The model is territory-based and relationship-driven. Franchisees build recurring accounts among local businesses, DOT-regulated employers and referral sources rather than relying on walk-in volume alone. ARCpoint operates around 130 locations nationwide from its Atlanta, Georgia headquarters.

In August 2024 ARCpoint became the first franchise system to join Cresso Brands, the parent group that also owns the larger Any Lab Test Now network. Its mix of regulated and consumer testing gives owners several revenue streams and a diversified base of demand.

Why buy an ARCpoint Labs Franchise?

ARCpoint Labs pairs an essential-service category with a B2B model that produces repeat and contract-based revenue. Workplace drug and alcohol testing, DOT compliance and background screening are ongoing employer needs, while consumer DNA, wellness and clinical testing add walk-in income, so a single center can earn across several demand streams rather than one. That diversification is part of what makes the category resilient across economic cycles.

For someone looking to buy an ARCpoint Labs franchise, the appeal is an established account base. Because revenue is built on relationships with employers, courts and physicians, an operating unit’s value lies in its book of recurring clients and local referral sources rather than in foot traffic alone. Healthcare experience is not required, and owners gain the backing of the Cresso Brands group.

ARCpoint Labs – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial training blends self-paced online modules and webinars with four to five days of in-person instruction at the Atlanta headquarters (or its virtual equivalent), owner lab shadowing, and an ops-team site visit within 30 days of opening. Sales onboarding uses the Sandler method, and franchisees run on the MyARCpointLabs portal. Each owner gets a dedicated Onboarding Project Manager and an ongoing Franchise Business Consultant, with weekly calls, webinars, a National Advisory Council and an annual conference. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and MyARCpointLabs access ARCpoint provides to incoming owners and staff.

  2. Ideal Owner

    ARCpoint Labs suits a sales-led, relationship-driven operator rather than a clinician, and no healthcare background is required. Owners spend their time on B2B outreach and account management, building and keeping ties with local employers, DOT-regulated firms, attorneys, courts and physicians, and managing a small testing-center team. A background in sales, marketing, operations, finance or general management fits well. The strongest candidates are community-minded networkers comfortable driving local business development and overseeing compliance-sensitive, detail-driven work.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    ARCpoint Labs has been recognized on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500, ranking #1 in its Laboratory Services category in 2017 and 2018, and was named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in 2014. The brand backs roughly 130 locations nationwide and draws consistently strong customer reviews for clean, professional, service-focused centers. Since 2024 it has also carried the credibility of the Cresso Brands group, alongside sister network Any Lab Test Now. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, referral sources and community standing.

  4. Industry / Market

    ARCpoint Labs operates in the testing-services market, where North America is the largest region, making up just over half of a roughly $7 billion global drug-testing market in 2025 and growing about 6% a year. Demand is driven by employer drug-free-workplace policies, DOT compliance in transport and safety-sensitive industries, and rising consumer interest in DNA, wellness and clinical testing. Much of this work is non-discretionary and recurs regardless of the economy, supporting steady local demand. For resale buyers, the regulated, repeat nature of much of this testing makes an established account base especially valuable.
