Item 19
What HRBoost franchisees actually report earning
HRBoost's 2025 FDD publishes no median in its Item 19. What it publishes instead is set out below, in the document's own terms. An average is not a median: it is pulled upward by the strongest outlets, and it does not tell you what the middle outlet made. We do not calculate a median the document does not state.
This financial performance representation discloses the historical performance of the one HRBoost Company-Owned business that has operated for at least one full calendar year as of December 31, 2024 (“Operating Businesses”).
What the FDD does publish

A dash means the FDD does not print that figure. HRBoost's Item 19 covers the Calendar years 2019 through 2024. Basis: One HRBoost Company-Owned business following the Agency Model.
What the franchisor excluded from these figures
- The representation excludes franchisee-owned businesses; the FDD states, “There were no Franchisee-Owned businesses.”
- The representation excludes the Bridge Builder Model; the FDD states that neither HRBoost nor its Affiliate operates or has operated a business similar to the Bridge Builder Model franchise.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new HRBoost outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
