Data Based On: 84 franchised locations representing 191 individual Assisting Hands Businesses in operation for 12 months or longer (and some less than 12 months but part of reporting group) during the 2024 calendar year, plus 5 affiliate locations.
* Calculated average, median, and quartiles from a list of individual Assisting Hands Business revenues. For each of the 84 reported franchised locations, the 'Gross Revenue' provided was divided by the 'Number of Assisting Hands Businesses' at that location to derive a 'revenue per business' figure.
