What one unit earns on your invested capital
Model A · Single-Unit Return
Computes unlevered return on invested capital (ROIC) for a single franchise unit, read against the 30–60% reference band · Yale SOM, Post-MBA Path Exhibit 2 (2023). Below that band a passive index fund likely outperforms; above it the franchisor has pricing power you're subsidizing.
Note: Item 19 revenue is what the franchisor discloses, and it is the top line only — gross sales are not profit. No FDD discloses the operating costs that turn one into the other, so those fields start empty and nothing is modelled until you supply them from your own lease quote, labor market and build-out budget.

What 25 units return when you use SBA financing
Model B · Return on Equity: Debt-Financed Acquisition
Models a 25-unit portfolio acquisition financed with an SBA 7(a) loan. Shows equity IRR (your return on cash invested), DSCR (how safely the cash flow covers debt service), and the capital stack (SBA + seller + equity breakdown).
This is the “search fund” or “entrepreneurship through acquisition” scenario: you buy an existing multi-unit operator, use leverage to amplify returns, and either operate or hire management. The 25-unit size is the typical minimum for an SBA-backed franchise portfolio acquisition to pencil as a full-time income.
What “return on equity” means here: if you put in $500K of your own cash and the business generates enough EBITDA to pay down debt and grow, your equity IRR is the annual return on that $500K, including the value created when you eventually sell. Target IRR for a search fund is typically 25–35%.

A 25-unit return is built on a per-unit EBITDA. Fill in the operating costs in Model A above and this model runs on that figure, or take the whole scenario to the full ROI workbench, where the portfolio and LBO models accept your own per-unit economics directly.

Risk & Legal
High-growth medical aesthetics franchise with undisclosed profitability, substantial fees, prior litigation, and small system size creates moderate-to-high risk despite protected territories.
Why this reads harsher than the B grade: the grade weighs financial health, unit economics, unit growth, scale, legal, and transparency across the whole filing, while this summary lists individual flags without that weighting. The flags are worth checking with current owners; neither is investment advice.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a 4EVER YOUNG franchise?
The total investment to open a 4EVER YOUNG franchise ranges from $355K – $828K, with an initial franchise fee of $60K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do 4EVER YOUNG franchise owners earn?
According to Item 19 of the 4EVER YOUNG FDD, the average gross sales per unit is $1.5M. The median is $1.4M. Important context: Reported for a subset of outlets rather than the whole system. Note: this is gross revenue, not profit. Actual owner earnings vary based on location, operating costs, and management.
Who owns 4EVER YOUNG?
4EVER YOUNG is franchised by 4Ever Franchisor LLC. Its parent company is 4Ever HoldCo LLC. The ultimate parent named in the FDD is HM Companies LLC. Source: FDD Item 1, 2024 filing.
What is Item 19 in the 4EVER YOUNG FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets. Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the 4EVER YOUNG FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is 4EVER YOUNG's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for 4EVER YOUNG (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.
How many 4EVER YOUNG franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, 4EVER YOUNG has 39 total units in the United States, including 36 franchised units and 3 company-owned units. 20 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is 4EVER YOUNG a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates 4EVER YOUNG as a B-grade franchise with a verdict score of 59 out of 100 (higher is better). The grade is a deterministic score built from six weighted dimensions — financial health, unit economics, unit growth, scale, legal, and transparency — then calibrated against SBA loan charge-off rates and FDD age. Transparency is one of the six, so a filing that discloses less scores lower on that dimension than one that discloses more. Our rating is based solely on publicly available FDD and government data; we recommend speaking with current franchisees before making any investment decision. This is not investment advice.
