How much does a Seniors Blue Book franchise owner make?

As with any new business, there should be a strong ROI and profit potential. The specific franchisee's income and the profits from a Seniors Blue Book business will depend on many factors. One way to check on the potential revenues or profits earned from a Seniors Blue Book franchise investment is to analzye the franchisor's Item 19 within their Franchise Disclosure Document. 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 overall systemwide sales. This type of financial disclosure is not always helpful to determine profits for you directly. So review systemwide sales data with caution. As a general rule, typically earnings and owner's salary are equitable to the overall size of the upfront investment. The larger the initial investment, the higher profits you should expect to see
