Only systems that state a 65-and-over population are drawn: a system sizing on the whole population has measured something different, and the two are never ranked against each other. Where a filing says “at least” a number, the qualifier travels with the value.

One You Love Homecare’s filing states that it has no litigation to disclose.

That is 0.0 per 100 locations, against 1.3 per 100 locations across the whole field. A count of proceedings mostly measures how large and how old a system is, which is why it is shown as a rate and never as a score.

ITEM 3 LITIGATION No litigation is required to be disclosed in this Item.

How to read these terms

  • Contract language does not summarize. Where a filing states a term in words, those words are what we publish, with the page they are on. Only the handful of terms that are genuinely numbers get compared with other systems.
  • A territory is only comparable to one measured the same way. Some systems size on residents aged 65 and over, some on the whole population. We keep those apart and never rank one against the other.
  • Disclosed cases are not a score. A count of proceedings mostly measures how big and how old a system is. We publish what each filing discloses, in its own words, with a rate per hundred locations so the count is not mistaken for a verdict.

What the agreement says about the minimums

  • Brand fund you must pay: “Beginning upon the earlier of (i) when you receive your license, or (ii) 10 months after you execute your Franchise Agreement and continuing for the remainder of the term of the Franchise Agreement, you will pay us a minimum biweekly (every other week) Brand Fund Contribution equal to $125 (the “Minimum Brand Fund Contribution”).”
  • Local marketing you must spend: “Currently, the Local Advertising Requirement is currently a minimum of $1,000 per month.”
  • Royalty you owe regardless: “Beginning upon the earlier of (i) when you receive your license, or (ii) 10 months after you execute your Franchise Agreement and continuing for the remainder of the term of the Franchise Agreement, you will pay us a minimum biweekly (every other week) Royalty equal to:”
  • Sales you must reach: “Franchisee must achieve at least $10,000 in Gross Sales per Territory per month once the Franchised Business has been open for one year (the “Minimum Performance Level”).”

What this filing does not disclose

  • Nothing material to this question is missing from this filing.

Every term on this page is read from One You Love Homecare’s own 2026 disclosure document, and the wording is the filing’s rather than ours. Territory sizes are compared only with systems measuring on the same basis. Disclosed proceedings are shown as the filing describes them, with their status where the filing states one. Source ↗
