Assisting Hands Home Care requires a total initial investment of $97K to $180K (midpoint approximately $138K), with an initial franchise fee of $55K. The ongoing fee burden is 5.5% . This is below the industry average of approximately 22.3%, leaving more margin for the operator.
Assisting Hands Home Care does not publicly disclose Item 19 financial performance data in their FDD. This is a significant transparency gap — franchisees must rely on validation calls and personal research rather than audited financial representations. Prospective buyers should demand current unit-level financials from existing operators during due diligence.
Assisting Hands Home Care operates approximately 184 franchised units. Unit count is relatively stable with a 2.4% year-over-year change. The SBA 7(a) loan default rate of 13.6% is above the franchise industry average of approximately 4.9%, suggesting elevated financial risk for franchisees relying on debt financing.
Prospective franchisees should verify all figures against the most recent FDD, conduct validation calls with multiple existing franchisees, and consult with a franchise attorney before signing any agreement.
