ROI & LBO modelsSingle-unit · 25-unit portfolio · editable
Jomsom Staffing Services makes no financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD - a voluntary item under the FTC Franchise Rule - so no unit revenue figures are disclosed. 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.

vs Business Services medians
How Jomsom Staffing Services 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.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Jomsom Staffing Services franchise?
The total investment to open a Jomsom Staffing Services franchise ranges from $73K – $132K, with an initial franchise fee of $40K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Jomsom Staffing Services franchise owners earn?
Jomsom Staffing Services makes no financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD - a voluntary item under the FTC Franchise Rule - so no unit revenue figures are disclosed. Declining to publish one is lawful and is not evidence of how the outlets perform. It does mean that less about this brand can be verified from its filing, and the FranchiseVerdict grade - an editorial assessment, not investment advice - reflects that. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
Who owns Jomsom Staffing Services?
Jomsom Staffing Services is franchised by Jomsom Franchise Company, LLC. Its parent company is Agarwal Holdings, LLC and Loyalty Franchising, LLC. The ultimate parent named in the FDD is Loyalty Franchising, LLC. Source: FDD Item 1, 2025 filing.
What is Item 19 in the Jomsom Staffing Services 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 Jomsom Staffing Services FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Jomsom Staffing Services's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Jomsom Staffing Services (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 Jomsom Staffing Services franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, Jomsom Staffing Services has 5 total units in the United States, including 4 franchised units and 1 company-owned units. 1 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is Jomsom Staffing Services a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Jomsom Staffing Services as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 38 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.
