Senior Care Authority requires a total initial investment of $86K to $106K (midpoint approximately $96K), with an initial franchise fee of $53K. The ongoing fee burden is 8% . This is below the industry average of approximately 19.8%, leaving more margin for the operator.

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.
