How much does an Hobby Quest franchisee make?

As with any new franchise, there should be a reasonable return on your investment and profit potential. The specific franchisee's salary and the revenue from an Hobby Quest franchise depends on a variety of factors. One way to confirm the potential revenues or profits earned from a Hobby Quest franchise investment is to review the franchisor's Item 19 within their FDD. This is called an earnings claim. This is not required within a franchisor's disclosure and approximately 68% of all franchisors in our database will disclose financial performance data within Item 19 of their FDD. Some franchisors may provide limited information such as overall systemwide sales. This type of financial data is not always helpful to determine profits for you directly. So review average sales data with caution. As expected, usually profits and owner's income are correspond to the overall size of the upfront investment. The larger the initial investment, the higher return you should expect to see. Another factor to profitability is based on the number of locations you purchase. If you sign for multiple units (usually defined as Area Development Agreements), you can anticipate that as you launch the next location, you will generate more revenue and profits overall. Demand for your products, the labor costs in your city, commercial lease rates and several other variables are important factors in determining your bottom line and your personal salary. Your future returns are linked to the overall franchisor's success. Your returns and owner's income is not just dependent on how well your own location operates, you should assess how well the entire franchise system is operating. Determine how the franchisor generates revenue and review their financial statements.
