According to Gokhale Method's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total liabilities and stockholders' equity for the company in 2022 was $124,099. This figure represents the sum of all the company's obligations to creditors (liabilities) and the value of ownership held by its shareholders (stockholders' equity) at the end of the fiscal year.

The liabilities portion of this total includes accounts payable and other current liabilities amounting to $6,667, and deferred revenue of $8,086, bringing the total liabilities to $14,753.

For a prospective franchisee, understanding the composition of liabilities and equity can provide insights into the financial structure and stability of Gokhale Method. A high level of liabilities relative to equity might indicate higher financial risk, while a strong equity position suggests a more stable financial foundation. Reviewing these figures over several years, as presented in the FDD, can help identify trends and assess the company's financial performance and risk profile. It's also important to note that these figures reflect the financial position of Gokhale Method Institute, Inc., the entity that grants franchises, and may not directly reflect the financial performance of individual franchisees.
