What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to My Salon Suite's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the lowest EBITDA reported for the bottom quartile of locations is -$115,147. This data is based on the financial performance of 61 locations in the bottom quartile by revenue.
EBITDA, or Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization, is a measure of a company's profitability. A negative EBITDA, as reported here, indicates that some My Salon Suite locations in the bottom quartile experienced a loss before accounting for interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. This figure represents the lowest end of the range for these locations, meaning some franchisees in this quartile performed significantly worse than others.
Prospective franchisees should be aware that financial performance can vary widely, and a significant number of locations in the bottom quartile experienced negative EBITDA. This highlights the risk involved and the importance of thorough due diligence, including consulting with financial advisors, before investing in a My Salon Suite franchise. It's also important to note that the franchisor is unable to verify the accuracy of the expense information provided by franchisees.
