How much does a A Better Solution in Home Care franchise make?

A Better Solution in Home Care is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The average revenue A Better Solution in Home Care reports, what that figure does and doesn't include, and where it ranks against senior & home care peers are in the full report. See every senior & home care brand that discloses earnings in the Senior & home care franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

A Better Solution in Home Care franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come A Better Solution in Home Care's 5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a A Better Solution in Home Care franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "A Better Solution in Home Care franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. The full report sets A Better Solution in Home Care's disclosed revenue against its total ongoing fee load, so you can see what that revenue has to cover before anything reaches you.

A Better Solution in Home Care lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

A Better Solution in Home Care's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) does disclose 1 legal proceeding in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against A Better Solution in Home Care itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. The full A Better Solution in Home Care report lists each case with what it was about and how it ended, separates franchisee disputes from corporate and securities matters, and flags the ones a franchisee started — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for.

A Better Solution in Home Care closures & failure rate

Before you sign, A Better Solution in Home Care will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what A Better Solution in Home Care's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a senior & home care of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. A Better Solution in Home Care's latest tables show a shrinking franchised network — more units left than opened. The actual closure and termination counts, and how A Better Solution in Home Care's churn ranks against senior & home care peers, are in the full report.
