Visiting Angels Franchise

Visiting Angels, a Living Assistance Services franchise, has been franchising since 1998 , currently with 700 total locations in the senior care sector, headquartered in PA. According to the 2024 FDD, the total initial investment ranges from $78K to $118K — a 51% spread between the low and high end that reflects how site size, market, and buildout scope change the capital requirement. This figure includes the franchise fee of $50K, equipment, leasehold improvements, and initial working capital through the ramp-up period.

Ongoing royalty and advertising-fund rates for this brand are not captured in the summary dataset — review Items 6 and 7 of the FDD for the authoritative schedule. Critically, Visiting Angels does disclose financial performance data in Item 19, a voluntary disclosure that only about a third of U.S. franchisors make. The reported average gross revenue per location is $1.2M. Revenue is not profit — actual franchisee take-home depends on rent, labor, cost of goods, and local demand.

Network momentum is currently positive: Visiting Angels added units at a 1.4% net rate year-over-year (30 openings, 20 closures). Sustained positive growth is a signal that the unit-economics are working well enough to attract new operators, though late-stage growth can also reflect aggressive sales push rather than operational health. Before committing capital, triangulate this summary against the full FDD, a franchise attorney's review, and direct conversations with five or more current and former franchisees from Item 20.
