SYNERGY HOME CARE

Financials from the 2025 FDD show a relatively accessible entry: $52,500 franchise fee and total investment of $78,106-$159,053 per Item 7, lower than many senior care peers charging $100K+ fees. Ongoing costs include 5% royalty, 2% brand/ad fund, plus unusual extras like $95 weekly ($412 monthly) systems fee and $200+ monthly software scheduling—potentially adding $7K+ yearly beyond standard percentages. No Item 19 means no validated revenue or profit figures, forcing reliance on anecdotal FDD contacts (Items 20/21); this opacity is a notable drag in a category where competitors often share medians around $800K-$1.2M AUV.

System health shines with 550 locations (up 10% from 499 in 2023), 77 projected new units, 28 transfers, and just 21 terminations—signs of stability amid senior care demand. SBA data is a green flag: 71 loans averaging $270,238 with only 5.6% default rate, well below franchise norms (often 10-15%). For hands-on operators with management chops, this low-cost, growing network offers solid potential in a recession-resistant field, though extra fees and no earnings data demand cautious modeling of 15-25% EBITDA margins based on industry benchmarks.
