Data Based On: 2023 financial information from 21 franchisees (Represented Franchise Owners) who collectively own 32 Dryer Vent Squad Businesses, owned their businesses at least one year as of December 31, 2023, and operated throughout all of 2023.

* Average gross revenue, revenue top quartile, and revenue bottom quartile are directly extracted from the 'Group Ranked by Average revenue' table on page 2. The `average_gross_revenue` is from the 'TOTAL' row, labeled 'Average Revenue per owner' ($153,651). The `revenue_top_quartile` is from the '1st Quartile' row, labeled 'Average Revenue per owner' ($273,299). The `revenue_bottom_quartile` is from the '4th Quartile' row, labeled 'Average Revenue per owner' ($64,782). The document explicitly states on page 2 that it does not report other variable costs or fixed operating expenses to obtain net income or profit, therefore all profit/income related fields (average_net_income, average_net_profit, average_ebitda, ebitda_margin_pct, best_guess_profit_low, best_guess_profit_high) are null.
