Senior care advisory franchise helping families find placement and agencies navigate care options.
This is the single most important question. The data below comes directly from the franchise's legally required disclosure document (FDD Item 19).
Franchisees earn a median of $289K/year, close to the $278K average — a healthy, even distribution suggesting consistent results.
This is moderate compared to established home care franchises, which typically have $500K+ median revenue.

Why this matters for you:
Revenue improves with tenure (0.3x growth from new to mature), but the ramp is gradual. Plan for slower early years.
This matters because new franchisees should expect year 1-2 revenue to be much lower than the system average. Plan your cash runway accordingly.
Estimated using industry benchmark margins (no P&L disclosed by this franchise)
At median franchise revenue ($289K), the estimated owner take-home is roughly $50K/year — including a $50K owner salary.
Returns at median revenue may not significantly exceed what you could earn in a salaried role. Consider carefully.
Revenue is not profit. This table translates gross revenue into estimated owner take-home using industry benchmark margins. The highlighted row is closest to the median revenue ($289K).

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.
Combined royalty + ad fund is 958% of gross revenue — above the industry average (typically 7-8%). This means a larger share of your revenue goes to the franchisor.
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 958% combined fees, that's $4.8M/year going to the franchisor — before you pay rent, staff, or yourself.
