ACTIONCOACH

Item 7 lays out a accessible entry: $45,000 franchise fee folds into a total investment of $64,000-$139,259, covering training, coaching tools, and initial marketing for solo coaches who can scale to a four-coach firm. Ongoing fees hit 10% royalties plus 5% brand/ad fund and $135 monthly tech fee, keeping overhead predictable. Item 19 shines here, disclosing average gross revenue of $261,539 and median $158,316—strong for a service model targeting SMBs, non-profits, and entrepreneurs via programs like YESS. That top-line suggests solid margins for owner-operators leveraging long-term client ties since franchising began in 2009.

System health shows maturity without fireworks: 30 franchise locations, one corporate, with just 1 termination, 1 non-renewal, and 1 transfer last year, plus 6 projected new units. Franchising from Ohio since 2009, it's no explosive chain but stable. SBA stats tell a mixed tale—19 loans averaging $153,989, yet 15.8% default rate flags financing risks amid economic shifts. For coach-minded investors eyeing work-life balance and community impact, the numbers signal viability over viral growth—ideal if you thrive on relationships, not volume.
