How much does a Port City Java franchise owner make?

As with any new business, there needs to be a strong ROI and profit potential. The specific franchisee's income and the revenue from a Port City Java franchise depends on a variety of factors. One way to confirm the potential revenues or profits earned from a Port City Java franchise investment is to review the franchisor's Item 19 within their Franchise Disclosure Document. This is called a financial performance representation. This is an option for franchisors within their 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 disclose limited information such as average gross revenues. This type of financial disclosure is not always helpful to assess profits for you directly. So review systemwide sales data with caution. As expected, usually profits and owner's salary are equitable to the overall size of the initial investment. The larger the initial investment, the larger return you should anticipate
