What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the high and low range of monthly commissions for franchisees in the top 10% who managed one publication (Publication 1) was $16,579.67 and $8,543.67. This data reflects the commission payments from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, for 84 BeLocal publications that were in print as of June 30, 2024, and had been in print for a full year. These figures represent the highest and lowest monthly commissions earned by the top-performing publications within the Belocal system.

For a prospective Belocal franchisee, this information provides insight into the potential earnings that can be achieved with a single publication if they perform within the top 10%. It's important to note that these figures are based on historical data and do not guarantee future performance. Individual results may vary depending on factors such as market conditions, management skills, and local competition.

It is also important to consider that Belocal excluded commission payments made to publications that were not in print for the full year or were managed by franchisees using a different commission formula. This means the reported figures may not represent the entire Belocal franchise system. Prospective franchisees should conduct their own independent investigation and consult with financial advisors to assess the viability of the franchise opportunity.
