ASSISTING HANDS HOME CARE (AREA REP)
Assisting Hands Home Care area representative franchises involve recruiting, screening, developing, servicing, and supporting third-party franchisees operating Assisting Hands Home Care businesses within a designated development territory. Franchisees must also operate their own 'Pilot Business' providing non-medical (and potentially medical) in-home care, staffing, and related services. The business model earns 50% commissions on net initial franchise fees and royalties from unit franchises sold in the territory, targeting entrepreneurs, home care specialists, and business brokers in the competitive franchise sales market.

Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 20 AR Businesses (including 2 employee-owned) in the 2024 Reporting Group that were in operation for 12 months or longer and supported at least one Assisting Hands Business franchise for the entire calendar year.
* All financial metrics are based on 'AR Royalty' from the 'Average Royalty Received Per Franchised AR Business' table for the year 2024. 'AR Royalty' represents commissions received by AR Businesses for revenues from third-party franchisees, not the gross revenue of the underlying Assisting Hands Business franchises. The FDD explicitly states that the provided financial performance representations do not reflect costs of sales, operating expenses, or other costs/expenses; therefore, profit and net income figures cannot be calculated or estimated. 'High AR Royalty' and 'Low AR Royalty' represent the highest and lowest individual AR Royalty figures, respectively, and are used for revenue_top_quartile and revenue_bottom_quartile as the best available representation of performance extremes, though not an average of a quartile.
