BeBalanced

Item 7 pegs the initial investment at $172,050-$222,950, including a $45,000 franchise fee, build-out for a 1,200-2,000 sq ft space, and inventory of supplements and products central to the 14-week Becoming Balanced regimen. Ongoing fees bite with 6% royalties (capped by a $1,000 monthly minimum after year one), 2% brand fund ($100/mo min), and a flat $450/mo for internal systems—totaling potentially $1,550/mo at minimum. Item 19 shines here: average gross revenue clocks $367,035 across units, median $344,934, suggesting solid top-line potential in a niche targeting women over 40 frustrated by hormonal weight gain, though profitability hinges on controlling those fixed fees against $300K+ sales.

System maturity shows 24 franchised units plus one corporate in Lancaster, PA, but growth stalled at 25 total locations from 2022-2023 (0% change), with 12 new units projected—tempered by that single termination. Five SBA loans averaging $117,400 indicate accessible financing for qualified buyers, likely covering 60-70% of startup. For a services play in health & wellness, BeBalanced's protected territories and proprietary protocols offer defensibility, but flat expansion signals prospective buyers to probe local demand for natural weight loss amid rising competition from apps and clinics—strong revenues tempt, yet scaling might demand marketing hustle beyond the 2% fund.
