Average Gross Revenue

Median Gross Revenue
$330,000

Data Based On: Data based on 9 franchised businesses (operating a total of 27 franchised units) that were open and in operation for the full fiscal year ending May 31, 2025.

* The document provides 'Average Net Revenue' and 'Median Net Revenue' for franchised businesses for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2025. Note 1 clarifies that 'Net Revenue' includes all revenues generated from the business, excluding sales tax. Notes 4 and 5 explicitly state that operating costs and expenses (including royalties, payroll, rent), interest, depreciation, and amortization information are not included in the financial performance representation. Therefore, profit-related metrics (gross profit, net income, net profit, EBITDA) and profit estimations cannot be calculated. The 'High Amount' and 'Low Amount' are given as the maximum and minimum reported revenues, respectively, and do not represent averages of top/bottom quartiles or segments, so 'revenue_top_quartile' and 'revenue_bottom_quartile' are set to null. The sample size ('poc_number' and 'poc_franchise_count') is based on the 'Total # of Open Franchisees' (9 for 2025), as the 'Average Net Revenue' is described as information provided by 'Open Franchisees' and Note 2 implies the revenue figures are for the franchisee's business operating from a single location, regardless of the number of 'units' or agreements.

QUALICARE Franchise Analysis

In the booming home healthcare sector, Qualicare stands out with its home-based model targeting seniors and those needing skilled nursing or companionship. Item 19 financial disclosures paint a picture of revenue potential that varies widely, while SBA loan records hint at financing realities for new owners. But with recent growth and a modest footprint, does this franchise deliver steady expansion or spotlight risks worth uncovering?

Item 7 in the 2025 FDD outlines Qualicare's initial investment from $98,150 to $174,150, covering the $49,700 franchise fee, training, marketing, and home office setup—no brick-and-mortar needed. Ongoing fees hit 5% royalty plus 1% brand fund, layered with fixed costs like $350/month tech fee, $120/month ERP minimum, $85/month conference (up to $200), and $250-333/month accounting software. Item 19 reveals strong top-line potential: average gross revenue of $852,618 across reporting units, though the median at $330,000 signals many locations lag behind outliers, impacting profitability estimates around 15-25% margins after expenses in this private-pay focused model.

System metrics show health with 33 locations up 18% from 28 in 2024, projecting 15 new units amid 10 terminations—reasonable churn for a 2011 franchisor under Clear Summit Group. SBA data logs 8 loans averaging $123,063 but a 12.5% default rate flags financing hurdles. For buyers eyeing healthcare services, Qualicare's exclusive territories and standardized systems offer scalability, but the revenue spread and added tech fees demand scrutinizing local demand versus competition in evolving homecare.

Analysis based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. All figures should be independently verified before making investment decisions.
