CRESTCOM (AREA REPRESENTATIVE)

CRESTCOM (AREA REPRESENTATIVE)

Crestcom International, LLC offers Area Representative franchises that grant rights to promote and recruit CRESTCOM franchise businesses—providing management, sales, and personnel development training programs and materials—within a defined territory. Area Representatives earn commissions, typically 50% of initial franchise fees for recruited franchisees and 10% of ongoing royalty fees from gross revenues generated in the territory, while also required to operate their own CRESTCOM business. The target market includes prospective franchisees interested in training services for businesses ranging from small companies to Fortune 500 organizations seeking to enhance management, sales, and personnel skills.

Financial Performance


Item 19 Financial Performance

Data Based On: 61 Franchisees that were active on a full time basis operating 83 CRESTCOM Business outlets during the fiscal year January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024.

* The document provides segmented gross revenue data for different types of franchisees in Chart 3 (Yearly Gross Revenues of Franchisees that are Area Representatives, Yearly Gross Revenues of Non-Area Representative Franchisees Not in the Territory of an Area Representative, and Yearly Gross Revenues of Non-Area Representative Franchisees in the Territory of an Area Representative). While Footnote (5) indicates that 61 franchisees were included in the third chart, the specific counts for each of these three franchisee categories are not provided. Without these individual category counts, an overall weighted average gross revenue and median gross revenue for all franchisees cannot be accurately calculated. No data on net income, net profit, EBITDA, or expenses was found to estimate profit ranges.
