Size is on a log scale, because the field runs from single digits to several hundred locations. The bands are the literal thresholds the stage rule uses, so the rule can be checked against the marks rather than taken on trust.

Exits count terminations, non-renewals, locations the franchisor bought back, and locations that ceased operating. The four are published as the filing reports them and are never summed into a judgement about the system.

In 2025, exits ran at 7.1% of the locations One You Love Homecare started that year with. Source ↗

One You Love Homecare has 32 franchises sold and not yet open — above typical in this field.

A franchise sold and not yet open is a location the system expects to have and does not have. It is the nearest thing these filings give to a forecast, and it is the reason two systems with the same growth rate can be heading in different directions. Who has the deepest pipeline? →

How to read growth

  • Net change is openings minus exits, not new openings. A system that opened forty locations and lost thirty grew by ten. Both halves matter, and a system that only ever shows you one of them is showing you the flattering one.
  • An exit is not a failure. The same figure holds locations that were terminated, locations whose agreement ran out, locations the franchisor bought back, and locations that simply stopped. A franchisor buying its own locations back is a strategy, not a casualty.
  • Under ten locations, a rate means almost nothing. A system that went from four locations to seven grew 75%, and will tell you so. Below ten we publish the counts and not the percentage.

What this filing does not disclose

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

Every figure on this page is read from One You Love Homecare’s own 2026 disclosure document. Exits count terminations, non-renewals, locations the franchisor bought back, and locations that ceased operating. A growth rate is not published where the system began the year with fewer than ten franchised locations, because a rate over a base that small moves on a single opening. Source ↗
