ROIC above 100% usually means the revenue figure is a system-wide aggregate or top-cohort number rather than a single-unit average. Verify the "Revenue · per unit" field against the brand's FDD Item 19 detail tables before relying on this output.

Overview

About

In Home Personal Services franchisees provide in-home non-medical care services (likely elder care, household assistance, or personal support services) directly to residential clients in their protected territory. Franchisees are responsible for recruiting, training, and managing service delivery staff while the franchisor provides operations support, client referrals, and back-office systems. Revenue typically comes from direct client billing with the franchisor taking 6% in royalties.

Risk & Legal

62
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE62 / 100

A micro-franchise with undisclosed financials, pending litigation against the franchisor affiliate, going concern status, and no verifiable revenue data creates substantial investment risk despite protective territory.

Score breakdown · what drove the 62 / 100 rating

  1. 01HIGHActive litigation against affiliate involving $38k+ advance and equipment breach — suggests operational/financial instability at corporate level
  2. 02MINORNo Item 19 financial performance disclosure (avg revenue/net income not provided) — impossible to validate ROI on $42.75k-$124k investment or 6% royalty impact
  3. 03HIGHGoing Concern notation indicates material doubt about franchise system's ability to continue operations
  4. 04MINOROnly 16 total units despite 71.4% YoY growth claim — statistically insignificant growth (likely ~9 units added); potential cherry-picked growth metric
  5. 05MEDHigh franchise fee ($55k) relative to low investment floor ($42.75k) with royalty on undisclosed revenue creates financial opacity
  6. 06MEDService-based model with no disclosed benchmarks for labor costs, customer acquisition spend, or recurring revenue sustainability
