Autism Center of Excellence

Item 7 details an initial investment of $220,250-$499,000, including a $35,000 franchise fee, for 5,000-6,000 sq ft centers offering ABA therapy and proprietary programs like Early Intervention. Ongoing fees total 5% royalty, 1% brand fund, plus 2% local marketing (minimum $2,500/month), which is moderate for healthcare but adds up on high-volume insurance reimbursements. Item 19 reveals average gross revenues of $2,054,662 per unit, with estimated profits pinpointed at $1,069,085—suggesting over 50% margins from just five corporate locations, though this single-point estimate raises questions on variability.

From one location in 2023 to five in 2024 (+400% growth), this system is accelerating, with two projected new units ahead. No major litigation or high SBA default flags appear in the 2025 FDD, but as a franchisor since 2025, limited track record means higher execution risk versus established players. For investors eyeing healthcare services, the revenue scale tempts, but validate with FDD Items 20/21 on transfers/terminations before committing—strong numbers demand scrutiny on sustainability.
