MEDI-WEIGHTLOSS BUSINESS

Medi-Weightloss franchises operate health clinics offering proprietary medically-supervised weight loss, wellness, nutritional, and weight management products and services, including required services and optional ancillary offerings like vitamin injections and IV therapy.

They target adults and adolescents (ages 12-18) desiring weight loss and nutritional solutions in a highly competitive market.

Data Based On: 54 franchised Medi-Weightloss Businesses that reported expenses for Fiscal Year 2023. This excludes company-owned and licensed businesses.

* All financial figures are based on the 'All 54 Reporting Businesses Regardless of size of Marketing Spend' table on page 6 of the FDD. 'average_net_profit' is taken from 'Net Income Before Other Expenses', which is defined in Note 10 (page 7) as Gross Sales minus Cost of Goods Sold, Selected Operating Expenses, and Royalty Fees. Note 11 (page 7) clarifies that 'Net Income Before Other Expenses' does not include other costs such as insurance, processing fees, taxes, professional services, etc., which would further reduce actual net income. Therefore, 'average_net_income' is set to null as a comprehensive net income figure (after all expenses) is not provided. 'best_guess_profit_high' is set to the reported 'average_net_profit' ($180,922), representing the most optimistic profit before additional excluded costs. 'best_guess_profit_low' is set to the average 'Net Income Before Other Expenses' of the lowest performing segment ($77,149 from the 'Marketing Spend Less Than $1,500 per Month' group on page 5), providing a conservative estimate of average profit.

MEDI-WEIGHTLOSS BUSINESS Franchise Analysis

Medi-Weightloss clinics promise medically-supervised weight loss in a booming wellness sector, but Item 19's revenue disclosures paint a picture few competitors match at this scale. SBA lending history hints at accessible financing, while recent system expansion raises eyebrows. Can steady growth and operational tweaks outweigh pockets of friction like terminations and litigation?

Item 7 details a total investment of $207,000-$435,000, including a $45,000 franchise fee, with ongoing 10% royalties, 1% brand fund, and up to $350/month tech fees. Item 19 shines brightly: average gross revenue hits $901,641, median $752,739, translating to estimated profits of $77,149-$180,922 after expenses. For franchisees, this means potential 8-20% margins on solid volume, especially in underserved markets targeting adults and teens—far above many wellness peers without doctor-led protocols.

System health shows promise with 88 franchised units (17 corporate), up 16% from 76 in 2022, 3 terminations, 3 transfers, and 16 projected new units. SBA data bolsters confidence: 51 loans averaging $231,529 with just 5.9% default rate, signaling bank-approved viability. Four consolidated litigations against one ex-franchisee for breaches and infringement don't derail the trajectory, but underscore guaranty risks. Overall, strong Item 19 earnings and growth make this a contender for health-focused investors eyeing $750K+ medians.

Analysis based on the 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document. All figures should be independently verified before making investment decisions.
