Outlet count, growth trajectory, and churn — signals of system health
Strong growth trajectory — the system is expanding and franchisees are staying, which signals a healthy business model.
Growing systems tend to have better brand recognition, more negotiating power with vendors, and more peer support. But rapid growth can also strain franchisor resources.
What this means for you:
Upfront investment, ongoing fees, and minimum performance requirements
What it costs to get in and what you pay ongoing.
Setup Requirements: Office-based (minimum 1,000 sq ft general office space). Franchisor is employer of record — handles caregiver payroll, billing, collections. Franchisee receives "distributed balance" after deductions.
Combined royalty + ad fund is 9% of gross revenue — in line with the industry average for non-medical home care franchises.
These recurring fees come off the top of your revenue every month, regardless of profitability.
These fees are deducted before you see any profit. At $500K revenue with 9% combined fees, that's $45K/year going to the franchisor — before you pay rent, staff, or yourself.
Complexity, risk scoring, and key signals to watch
More strengths than watch items — the positives outweigh the negatives on paper. (10 strengths, 7 watch items)
Your franchise is only as strong as the company behind it. A weak franchisor can't deliver on training, marketing, or technology promises — regardless of how good the business model is.
A financially weak franchisor may struggle to provide training, marketing, technology, and ongoing support. If they can't sustain themselves, your investment is at risk regardless of your own performance.
