As with any new investment opportunity, there needs to be a solid ROI and net profit potential. The specific franchisee's income and the revenue from an Pelican's SnoBalls business depends on a lot of different factors. One way to confirm the potential revenues or profits generated from a Pelican's SnoBalls 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 that we research and study 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 financial data is not always helpful to assess profitability for you directly. So review systemwide 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 return you could anticipate. Another factor to owner's salary potential is based on the number of locations you purchase. If you buy multiple units (typically referred to as Area Development Agreements), you can anticipate that as you open the next unit, you will earn a multiple on your profits. Demand for your products, your labor costs in your city, commercial lease rates and a number of other variables are important factors in determining your profit margin and your take-home income. Your future returns are associated with the overall franchisor's success. Your returns and owner's income is not just reliant on how well your own location operates, you should review how well the entire franchise system is performing. Determine how the franchise company makes money and analyze their financial returns.
