Read from the one audited statement package the filing presents as current, full years only. A line the statements do not break out is not drawn; what is left over after the named lines is shown as other income rather than dropped, because a mix that does not sum to the whole misstates the whole.

Compared with 12 franchisors reporting their own books.

Nurse Next Door’s royalty income grew faster than Nurse Next Door’s number of locations.

Royalty income
+2.2%
Franchised locations
−2.7%
The gap
+4.9 points

The two are set side by side and not divided into one another: royalty income is the franchisor’s and the location count is the system’s, and the difference between the two rates is the most a filing supports saying about them together.

2.8%

Systems in this field are taxed in different ways — some pay tax as a company, some pass it to their owners — so the figure after tax is not comparable across them, and is not compared here.

How to read a franchisor's accounts

  • These are the franchisor's books, not the owners'. Item 21 shows what the company that sells the franchise earns. What an owner's business brings in is a different question, on a different page, and the two are never mixed.
  • Sometimes the books belong to a parent. Seven of these twenty-three systems file the audited statements of the group that owns them. Where that is the case we say so, name the entity, and show the figures on their own rather than against franchisors reporting their own accounts.
  • Royalties and new-franchise fees are two different businesses. A franchisor living on royalties earns when its owners do. One living on the fees from selling franchises has to keep selling them.

What this filing does not disclose

  • Operating margin: the filing does not break the figure out.

Every figure on this page comes from the one audited statement package Nurse Next Door’s 2026 filing presents as current. Full years only: stub periods, predecessor presentations and the disaggregation tables that repeat a year are excluded. Margins are compared before tax, because these entities are taxed in different ways. Source ↗
