Highlights of BrightStar Care’s 2012 Franchise Disclosure Document – Part 3

B. Franchisee Margins (First Location Only)

  • The following section identifies the gross margin percentage of BrightStar Care franchisees. Gross Margin percentage is defined as Gross Margin divided by revenues. Gross Margin is defined as Revenue less Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of Goods Sold includes all direct and indirect costs related to field employees including payroll, payroll taxes, benefits, screening costs, workers’ comp insurance, crime bond costs, professional and general liability insurance, 1.5% of revenue for variable marketing costs, and bad debt.
  • BrightStar uses a 20% average load onto known payroll costs to estimate COGS. The 20% is based on the franchise system average estimates. The two items with the largest variability due to state, local, and county statutory differences in addition to unemployment insurance claims experience include: payroll taxes where the company used an average of 11.66% and workers’ comp insurance where the company used an average of 3.28%.
  • The information contained below includes information for all Agencies opened by franchisees as their first location (regardless of how long the Agencies were in operation during the particular year), including all resale locations, for the full year as of December 31, 2011.

🤷‍♀️Why Work with a Franchise Broker?

A good franchise broker can help you to find the right franchise. They provide:

✅ Recommendations based on their assessment of historical financial performance (Item 19, FDD) instead of just franchise marketing materials.

✅ Franchise matches based on your goals, strengths, and passions.

✅ Demographic analysis to find franchises that could work in your area.

✅ A portfolio of franchises to meet almost any budget, interest, or goals.

✅ Referrals to other specialists, like franchise lawyers.

✅ Information on financing sources.

✅ Coaching in the due diligence process, based on experience with dozens of candidates.

✅ Help presenting yourself in the best light, to increase your chances of success.

✅ No fees for their services: franchisors pay them a success fee if an agreement is signed.

To get started, fill out this form, and a specialist from the Franchise Brokers Association will reach out to you.
