This is not required within a franchisor's disclosure and approximately 68% of all franchisors that we have reviewed will disclose financial performance data within Item 19 of their FDD. Some franchisors may provide limited information such as average gross revenues. This type of information is not always helpful to assess profitability for you directly. So review average sales data with caution. As expected, typically earnings and owner's income are correspond to the overall size of the initial investment. The larger the initial investment, the larger profits you could anticipate. Another factor to profitability is based on the number of locations you buy. If you purchase multiple units (typically referred to as Area Development Agreements), you can expect that as you open each additional unit, you will generate more revenue and profits overall.

Your financial success are associated with the franchise system’s success.
