Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 36 individual locations owned by 22 Intelligent Office franchisees operating in calendar year 2024. Five locations were excluded for not reporting sales properly.
* Calculated weighted average gross revenue per unit based on 36 total units. Individual tier's total revenue (owners * avg_revenue_per_owner) was summed and divided by the total number of units (owners * avg_units_per_owner). Top Third: 7 owners * 2.7 units/owner = 18.9 units; Total Revenue for Tier = 7 * $1,056,510 = $7,395,570. Average revenue/unit = $7,395,570 / 18.9 = $391,300.0. Middle Third: 7 owners * 1.3 units/owner = 9.1 units; Total Revenue for Tier = 7 * $384,923 = $2,694,461. Average revenue/unit = $2,694,461 / 9.1 = $296,094.62. Bottom Third: 8 owners * 1.0 units/owner = 8.0 units; Total Revenue for Tier = 8 * $235,980 = $1,887,840. Average revenue/unit = $1,887,840 / 8.0 = $235,980.0. Total units = 18.9 + 9.1 + 8.0 = 36.0 units. Total revenue = $7,395,570 + $2,694,461 + $1,887,840 = $11,977,871. Overall average gross revenue per unit = $11,977,871 / 36.0 = $332,718.64. Revenue top quartile is taken as the average per unit for the 'Top Third' tier. Revenue bottom quartile is taken as the average per unit for the 'Bottom Third' tier.

Picture launching a business solutions center in the booming remote work era—Intelligent Assistant promises flexible office services via a slick cloud system. Item 19 financials paint a picture of real-world performance for its 41 units, while recent FDD data hints at expansion plans despite a slight dip in locations. But can this fresh 2025 franchisor deliver steady returns amid competitive pressures?
Item 7 lays out the initial investment from $156,000 to $299,000, covering the $49,500 franchise fee, build-out for workspaces and meeting rooms, proprietary tech setup, and initial marketing. Ongoing fees hit hard: 6% royalty (minimum $500-$1,000/month), $2,500/month marketing fund, $2,000/month technology fee, and $550-$1,500/month for enterprise internet—totaling potentially $6,000+ monthly before revenue. Item 19 discloses average gross revenue of $332,719 across units, suggesting solid top-line potential for operators targeting SMBs and remote pros with daily memberships or a la carte admin support.
System maturity shows 43 locations in 2023 shrinking to 41 in 2024 (-5% growth), with just 2 terminations but projected 6 new units ahead. As a West Palm Beach-based newbie franchising since 2025 under IO Franchising, LLC, the contraction raises flags on early traction, yet revenue disclosure and modest projections signal cautious optimism. For buyers eyeing business services, the mid-range investment could yield if you nail local demand for virtual offices—watch fees closely to protect margins.
