What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Expense Reduction Analysts Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Average Net Cumulative Receipts' is calculated by totaling all Net Cumulative Receipts figures and then dividing by the number of figures counted. The FDD also defines "Net Cumulative Receipts" as Gross Revenue less any fees that the franchisee agrees to pay in connection with any Joint Venture Agreement that they enter into with another Consulting Business franchisee to provide Approved Products and Services in connection with a given Client, subject to the terms of the Franchise Agreement. A joint venture agreement is an agreement entered into between a franchisee with another franchisee or third party that delegates certain responsibilities and duties to other people.
This calculation is important for prospective franchisees as it provides a basis for understanding the average financial performance of existing franchisees. However, it is essential to note that this is just an average, and individual results may vary. Expense Reduction Analysts also provides a 'Median Net Cumulative Receipts' figure, which is calculated by placing all Net Cumulative Receipts figures being counted in order of ascending or descending value and finding the middle figure in the list. If there is an even number of figures, the median is calculated by adding the middle two figures and dividing by two.
The FDD provides additional context by breaking down franchisee performance into ranges such as 'Top 25%', 'Medium Top', 'Medium Low', and 'Low 25%', as well as deciles (1st Decile, 2nd Decile, etc.), which rank franchisees by Net Cumulative Receipts. This detailed breakdown can help prospective franchisees assess their potential earnings based on different performance levels. The financial performance information is separated into two tables: one for Full-Time Franchisees, and one for Part-Time Franchisees. Expense Reduction Analysts does not track the number of hours their franchisees work, but they can determine through their interactions with their systems and staff which franchisees are dedicating their full time and attention to the franchised business ('Full-Time Franchisees').
It is crucial for potential Expense Reduction Analysts franchisees to review these figures carefully, understand the definitions and calculation methods, and consider their own business goals and work commitment when evaluating the financial opportunity. The FDD explicitly states, 'Some outlets have earned this amount. Your individual results may differ. There is no assurance that you will earn as much.' Therefore, while the average provides a benchmark, success will depend on various factors, including the franchisee's efforts, market conditions, and business acumen.
