FranchiseVerdict summary · 2026
A Seva Senior Home Care Services franchise requires a total initial investment of $110K – $277K, including a $25K franchise fee and an ongoing 5.0% royalty[2]. This franchisor makes no financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD. Item 19 is voluntary under the FTC Franchise Rule, and this filing states that it makes none, so no revenue or earnings 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. 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

ROI & LBO modelsSingle-unit · 25-unit portfolio · editable
Seva Senior Home Care 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.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Seva Senior Home Care Services franchise?
The total investment to open a Seva Senior Home Care Services franchise ranges from $110K – $277K, with an initial franchise fee of $25K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Seva Senior Home Care Services franchise owners earn?
Seva Senior Home Care 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 Seva Senior Home Care Services?
Seva Senior Home Care Services is franchised by Seva Senior Home Care Franchising LLC. Source: FDD Item 1, 2025 filing.
What is Item 19 in the Seva Senior Home Care 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 Seva Senior Home Care Services FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Seva Senior Home Care Services's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Seva Senior Home Care 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 Seva Senior Home Care Services franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, Seva Senior Home Care Services has 2 total units in the United States.
Is Seva Senior Home Care Services a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Seva Senior Home Care Services as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 41 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.
