The target market includes employers with 20 or more employees per location in the multi-billion-dollar staffing industry.

Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 63 Franchised Offices that operated as standard Personnel Business Offices during the entire 2025 calendar year.
* The data is for 63 franchised offices for the 2025 calendar year. Data was segmented by 'Years of Operation' (1-3 years: 7 offices; 3-5 years: 14 offices; 5+ years: 42 offices) in Part B. Weighted averages were calculated for Gross Revenue, Gross Profit, and Gross Margin using these segments. Weighted Average Gross Revenue: (7 * $1,448,154 + 14 * $1,813,407 + 42 * $4,641,309) / 63 = $3,658,091.33, rounded to $3,658,091. Weighted Average Gross Profit: (7 * $334,699 + 14 * $342,242 + 42 * $790,733) / 63 = $640,397.89, rounded to $640,398. Weighted Average Gross Margin: (7 * 0.2794 + 14 * 0.1994 + 42 * 0.2001) / 63 = 0.2087555..., rounded to 0.208756. Note (3) defines 'Gross Profits' as 'Gross Revenue, less its payroll expenses and taxes'. Note (4) defines 'Gross Margin' as 'Gross Profits as a percentage of its Gross Revenue'. This value is used for 'ebitda_margin_pct' due to its definition as a percentage of gross revenue. Median Gross Revenue is taken from the overall summary in Part A as $1,842,996. No explicit data for revenue quartiles, net income, net profit, or EBITDA was provided, nor sufficient expense breakdowns to estimate further profit ranges.
