Analysis by FranchiseVerdict Research · Methodology
DOXA is a B2B franchise that builds and manages offshore teams for businesses with employment, security, and transparent pricing. Franchisees run local operations, developing clients and managing offshore staffing.
FranchiseVerdict summary · 2026
A DOXA franchise requires a total initial investment of $80K – $121K, including a $60K franchise fee. The 2025 FDD on file does not yield a unit-revenue figure we can publish. FranchiseVerdict grade: C (Average), an editorial assessment, not investment advice. Run a live ROI scan →
Limited operating history: franchising since 2025. A system this young has fewer than three years of Item 20 outlet history and rarely enough SBA loans for a charge-off rate, so its grade rests on less evidence than an established system's. Read its Item 20 tables and talk to its first franchisees before relying on the grade. Other new franchisors

No Item 19 revenue figure for DOXA is on file. The return models need a revenue figure to start from, and the operating costs that turn gross sales into a profit are in no FDD. Enter your own and the calculator runs on your assumptions — nothing here is modelled until you do.

An FDD discloses gross sales, not profit. We hold no sourced figure for annual revenue, royalty rate, COGS, labour, rent / occupancy and other operating costs, and will not substitute an assumed one. Enter your own and the model runs on your assumptions.
These models are for research and scenario planning only. Not investment advice. Actual results depend on your specific location, management, and market conditions. Consult a franchise attorney and accountant before signing any franchise agreement.

Financial Performance
Item 19 reports other rather than annual gross sales, so unit revenue is not directly comparable. We omit it from rankings.
vs Business Services medians
How Doxa Compares
Category median of published Business Services brands that report the figure; the middle half spans the 25th to 75th percentile and n counts the brands behind it. Medians are used because a few very large systems pull an average far from the typical brand. Revenue is disclosed gross sales, not profit.

This is a high-risk investment with a collapsing or non-viable franchisor (Going Concern), unsustainable royalty structure, and a single unit generating negligible profit—avoid unless franchisor provides compelling evidence of financial recovery and unit viability.

Score breakdown · what drove the 43 / 100 verdict
- 01MINOROnly 1 unit in system signals either brand is brand-new, collapsing, or severely underperforming
- 02MINOR60% royalty on markup is extraordinarily high and leaves minimal margin for franchisee profitability
- 03MINORAverage net income of $520/month ($6,240/year) is far below living wage; ROI on $80k-$120k investment is negative or multi-decade payback
- 04MEDUnprotected territory means unlimited competition from other franchisees or direct franchisor sales in your market
- 05MEDNo disclosed litigation but Going Concern status suggests potential undisclosed legal/financial exposure
- 06MINORFranchise fee of $60,000 combined with near-zero profitability creates immediate financial distress
- 07MINORUnknown unit growth trajectory with only 1 unit suggests franchisor cannot demonstrate system viability or franchisee success

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a DOXA franchise?
The total investment to open a DOXA franchise ranges from $80K – $121K, 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 DOXA franchise owners earn?
Item 19 of the DOXA FDD discloses figures for part of the system but no single average across all outlets. These are gross sales figures, not profit; the Revenue section shows what the filing reports and on what basis. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
Who owns DOXA?
DOXA is franchised by DOXA Talent Franchising LLC. Its parent company is DOXA Talent, Inc.. The ultimate parent named in the FDD is Amplio Corporation. Source: FDD Item 1, 2025 filing.
What is Item 19 in the DOXA 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 DOXA FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is DOXA's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for DOXA (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 DOXA franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, DOXA has 1 total units in the United States.
Is DOXA a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates DOXA as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 43 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.
