Disclosure-based. Not a forecast, not an offer to sell a franchise, and not advice.
The middle 4Ever Young location kept $242,000 on $1,529,000 of revenue. The lowest-selling lost $162,000. Between them sit two lines that account for most of the model, product at 30.4% of revenue and marketing at 10.1%. That is two to three times what most service franchises spend.
- The median reporting location keeps 15.8% after everything. $242,000 of adjusted net income on $1,529,000 of revenue, against an average of 12.9% and a lowest-selling location at −$162,000.
- Marketing runs 10.1% of revenue, and the lowest spender still spends $121,000. Your second-largest controllable line after wages, and far above the 1% to 7% typical of service franchises.
- Product takes 30.4% of revenue, one point is $15,300. Injectables, skin care, pharmacy products and medical supplies, against wages at 22.4%.
- Year two is still climbing 18%. Month 13 averages $80,716 and month 24 $95,258, so the build-up keeps running well past the first anniversary.
- Rent is 6.3% of revenue. Less than marketing, and less than a quarter of product cost. The site matters far less here than the schedule and the buying.
How much does a 4Ever Young franchise make?
The average 4Ever Young unit reported $1,452,000 of revenue in the 2026 FDD, and the median reported $1,529,000. The brand’s disclosure document discloses revenue and not profit, so what an owner keeps depends on the cost structure set out below. Revenue is not income. Rent, wages, cost of goods and the franchise fees all come out before an owner is paid. The figures for the highest-selling and lowest-selling businesses are below.
How the business works
A full P&L, down to net income.
| Line | Average | Share of revenue | Median | High | Low |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $1,452,000 | 100.0% | $1,529,000 | $3,215,000 | $807,000 |
| Cost of goods | $441,000 | 30.4% | $474,000 | $795,000 | $244,000 |
| gross profit | $1,011,000 | 69.6% | $1,055,000 | $2,456,000 | $562,000 |
| Wages | $325,000 | 22.4% | $338,000 | $575,000 | $202,000 |
| Marketing | $147,000 | 10.1% | $143,000 | $437,000 | $121,000 |
| Other operating expenses | $156,000 | 10.7% | $149,000 | $431,000 | $98,000 |
| Royalties and brand fund | $106,000 | 7.3% | $96,000 | $284,000 | $59,000 |
| Rent | $91,000 | 6.3% | $109,000 | $156,000 | $32,000 |
| Adjusted net income | $187,000 | 12.9% | $242,000 | $702,000 | −$162,000 |
Dollar figures as the brand reported it, rounded to thousands in the original.
Two lines have this model, and the lease is elsewhere. Product at 30.4% and wages at 22.4% take more than half of every dollar. Rent takes 6.3%. One point of product cost is $15,300 a year at the median location, so your buying terms move more money than your landlord does.
Marketing at 10.1% is the number that sets this brand apart. Most service franchises run 1% to 7%. Here the average location spends $147,000 and even the lowest spender commits $121,000. Treat that as the cost of filling the schedule. The locations at the bottom of the revenue range are spending nearly as much as the ones at the top.
Top performers
What separates the top 4Ever Young performers
4Ever Young splits its locations into groups instead of publishing one average. The best group averaged $3,215,000 a year. The worst averaged $807,000. Both run the same brand, on the same agreement, paying the same fees.
Decided before you open
- Trade area and site.A 4.0× gap between bands is not an operating gap. Catchment, daytime population and what sits next door set the ceiling before the first customer arrives.
- Territory, and how much of it is real.This model sells from a territory rather than a building. Two owners with the same brand and different ground are running different businesses, and density decides how much driving sits between jobs.
- What you spend to open.Opening costs $522,650 to $807,400, a 1.5× range inside one brand. The high end usually buys more capacity, so the cheapest build is not always the cheapest route to the top band.
Live operating levers
- Accounts, the operating driver.This model bills on accounts. An account signed this year still bills next year, so keeping accounts matters more than winning them. It is worth watching every week, because by the time it turns up in a monthly close the quarter is half gone.
- Membership and rebooking.A recurring plan turns a high-fixed-cost business from an appointment book into a subscription, which smooths the utilisation that drives the wage line. Rebooking before the customer leaves is what builds it, not marketing spend afterwards.
- The first year.This filing shows how a new location builds up, so the ramp can be underwritten from the document rather than assumed. Read two things out of it: the month sales cross the point where costs are covered, and how much cash you fund before that month arrives. Everything before break-even is paid for by you.
Context you underwrite around
- The reporting screen.14 of 68 locations are behind these figures. Locations open less than the full year, brand-owned, or not meeting the reporting criteria are excluded, so the numbers describe locations that cleared that screen, not the system as a whole.
- What the disclosure leaves out.Item 19 publishes no profit or cost data for franchised locations, no attainment figure. The brand’s own locations are the only margin signal in the document, and they are run by the people who wrote the playbook.
The first year
Twenty-four months of build-up, month by month.
| Month | Average | Median | Month | Average | Median |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $31,162 | $31,030 | 13 | $80,716 | $77,050 |
| 2 | $37,443 | $34,790 | 14 | $82,997 | $80,725 |
| 3 | $42,547 | $36,735 | 15 | $82,806 | $74,170 |
| 4 | $51,474 | $47,361 | 16 | $84,357 | $78,764 |
| 5 | $57,222 | $54,677 | 17 | $83,851 | $77,469 |
| 6 | $61,893 | $56,222 | 18 | $86,652 | $75,290 |
| 7 | $65,284 | $57,775 | 19 | $94,164 | $87,529 |
| 8 | $70,570 | $64,669 | 20 | $87,571 | $77,575 |
| 9 | $71,715 | $68,336 | 21 | $87,937 | $86,618 |
| 22 | $98,890 | $94,977 | |||
| 23 | $94,225 | $82,166 | |||
| 24 | $95,258 | $79,293 |
As the brand reported it, covering 53 franchised businesses opened after 1 January 2022 and operational at least one full month.
A location triples across two years, $31,162 in month one to $95,258 in month twenty-four. What matters more is that year two is still climbing 18%, from $80,716 in month 13 to $95,258 in month 24. The build-up here runs well past the first anniversary, so a location judged at twelve months is being judged halfway through its climb.
The gap between average and median widens in the back half, month 24 averages $95,258 against a median of $79,293. Strong locations pull away in year two, which is where the range on the Range tab comes from.
How much locations differ
Forty-nine mature locations, and the range between them.
| Measure | 2025 sales |
|---|---|
| Average | $1,020,756 |
| Median | $862,165 |
| High | $2,553,543 |
| Low | $353,542 |
As the brand reported it, excluding locations that transferred during 2024 or 2025. 19 of the 49, or 39%, met or exceeded the average.
Read those two populations together and a caution falls out. The 49 mature locations average $1,020,756. The 14 that reported a full P&L average $1,452,000, about 42% more. The cost structure you are benchmarking against therefore comes from locations that were selling considerably better than the system as a whole.
The affiliate locations sit higher still, at $2,103,385 to $3,541,565 in 2025, and they have been open since 2014, 2017 and 2022. Treat those as what a mature location can reach.
Where the money is recoverable.
Product at 30.4% and wages at 22.4% are the only two lines large enough to repay serious attention. Three points off product cost is $45,900 a year at the median location, more than the entire gap between the median and average net income. That comes from purchase discipline, unit-level tracking of injectables, and waste.
Marketing is the line to leave alone unless you are certain. At 10.1% of revenue it looks like the obvious cut. The minimum across all 14 locations is $121,000, nobody in this system has found a way to run it much leaner.
Questions we get asked
Does 4Ever Young disclose profitability?
Yes, and more completely than almost any brand in this category. Adjusted net income is given for 14 reporting locations with average, median, high and low, alongside every major cost line. The median location kept $242,000 on $1,529,000 of revenue. What it excludes is anything you pay yourself, health and 401K benefits, and one-time costs.
Which number should I measure my location against?
The median mature location at $862,165 of revenue for position, then the P&L percentages for diagnosis. Hold your own product cost against 30.4%, wages against 22.4% and marketing against 10.1%. Remember the P&L group averages 42% more revenue than the 49 mature locations, so its percentages describe a stronger set than the system.
How long is the build-up?
Two years, and it is still moving at the end of them. A location averages $31,162 in month one, $80,716 in month 13, and $95,258 in month 24, year two alone adds 18%. Judging a location at twelve months catches it halfway. Year-two revenue totals $1,059,424 on average and $971,626 at the median.
Why is marketing so high?
Because filling an aesthetics schedule costs what it costs. The average location spends $147,000, or 10.1% of revenue, and the lowest spender among the 14 still commits $121,000, a minimum. Compare that with rent at 6.3% and it shows where this brand believes demand comes from.
Who does bookkeeping for a 4Ever Young franchise?
Track product by item and by unit, at 30.4% of revenue it is the largest line you control. Injectables in particular need purchase records that reconcile units bought to units administered. Memberships and prepaid packages bill ahead of service, so part of your balance is treatment you still owe. Split wages by role, since the mix of injectors, estheticians and front desk is what moves that 22.4%. And keep marketing spend visible monthly against revenue, because at a tenth of sales it deserves the same scrutiny as a cost of goods. Averan provides bookkeeping, controller, and fractional CFO support for franchise owners and has Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors on the team.
- No profit figure. The filing reports sales and not earnings, so what an owner keeps is not disclosed.
- No cost lines. Wages, rent and cost of goods are not broken out, so margin cannot be rebuilt from the document.
- No attainment figure. The filing does not say how many locations reached the average it publishes.
Questions worth putting to 4Ever Young
The filing answers what it answers. These are the gaps an owner or a buyer should close directly.
- What do locations at the median spend on wages and rent as a share of sales? The filing reports sales only.
- What separates the highest-selling locations from the lowest: trade area, years open, size, or the owner?
- How long does a new location take to reach the average you publish, and what does the build-up look like month by month?
- What do the fees add up to as a share of sales at the average location, once minimums and technology charges are counted?
- How many 4Ever Young locations closed, were sold, or changed hands last year, and why?
