Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Financial performance data is from Affiliate Co., a single entity, presented as representative of a franchised business with imputed franchise-specific costs for the year 2025. The data is not derived from actual franchised units but from an affiliate's adjusted financials.
* Extracted data for Annual Total - 2025 from 'Table 1: Affiliate Co. Total Gross Profit, Certain Expenses, and Profit' on page 2. 'Total Income' is used for average_gross_revenue, 'Gross Profit' is used for average_gross_profit, and 'Adjusted Gross Profit' is used for average_net_profit, as it represents gross profit minus franchise-specific operating costs. Best guess profit range is set to this single 'Adjusted Gross Profit' value due to the absence of explicit ranges for expenses or profit.

Satellite Teams Franchise Analysis
In the exploding remote work revolution, Satellite Teams stands out by targeting regulated industries like legal, healthcare, and real estate with outsourced virtual staffing. Franchising just since 2025 from San Juan, PR, this home-office model promises flexibility without the overhead of traditional agencies—and Item 19 delivers the financial transparency rare for such a young brand. With only one corporate unit so far, does the data reveal a scalable goldmine or a high-risk bet?
Item 7 lays out the startup realities: franchise fee of $69,999 plus total investment from $82,499 to $99,999, operable from a home office or small space thanks to franchisor-supplied software, training, and sales scripts. Ongoing fees bite at 10% royalty—calculated as the greater of 10% gross margin or $1,500 monthly after 90 days—plus 5% brand fund and another 5% technology fee, totaling up to 20% of revenue. Yet Item 19 shines brightly: average gross revenue across units clocks in at $3,254,671, with estimated profits pegged at $589,594, painting a picture of high-margin efficiency in remote personnel placement where businesses chase cost savings.
System maturity raises flags and flags: one corporate location, three projected new units in 2026, and minimal historical data given the 2025 launch—no SBA loan stats or termination trends to dissect yet. This suggests aggressive expansion potential in a $100B+ staffing market, but buyers must probe Item 20 for closure/renewal rates and validate those eye-popping Item 19 figures against a single-unit sample size. For risk-tolerant operators eyeing business services, Satellite Teams could redefine remote franchising—if execution matches the hype.
