Local advertising & directory franchise for senior care providers — print guides + digital listings
Franchises · Non Medical Franchises
Our Take
Seniors Blue Book is early-stage or low-data. Proceed carefully.
Local advertising and directory franchise targeting senior care providers. Franchisees sell print and digital advertising to home care agencies, senior housing providers, and healthcare services through published Seniors Blue Book guides.
This is the single most important question. The data below comes directly from the franchise's legally required disclosure document (FDD Item 19).
Estimated using industry benchmark margins (no P&L disclosed by this franchise)
Upfront investment, ongoing fees, and minimum performance requirements
What it costs to get in and what you pay ongoing.
Combined royalty + ad fund is 7% 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 7% combined fees, that's $35K/year going to the franchisor — before you pay rent, staff, or yourself.
