Does BrightStar Care’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
No. BrightStar Care’s Item 19 reports sales but no profit, costs or owner pay. Rent, payroll, supplies, loan payments and Item 6 fees such as the royalty (5.25% of monthly Net Billings from non-National Accounts + 6.25% of monthly Net Billings from National Accounts) come out of sales before an owner is paid, so these figures cannot show what an owner earns.

Item 19 sample and definitions
Table A covers first agencies, excludes agencies open less than 12 months, and separately reports combined franchised and affiliate-owned agencies. The selected model basis is the broadest franchised-only average. Item 19 labels these figures Revenue, not profit. The FDD says the data are unaudited.
How to interpret BrightStar Care’s Item 19 figures and sample limits · What Item 19 does and does not show about owner pay.
Some recurring charges depend on a sales subset, usage or another amount not supplied by the annual sales figure. We do not combine them into an all-sales percentage or estimate total fees. Reported sales are not owner income.
Scope of these figures: The selected BrightStar Care disclosures above retain their recorded periods and samples. The lead figure covers 202 franchised first agencies open 12 months or longer. They do not establish take-home owner income or the results of a new outlet. Read the linked Item 19 for the franchisor's definitions and exclusions.
