From month 31, the royalty minimum, technology fee and local marketing minimum come to $24,000* a year for each territory.
- The minimums are charged for each protected territory. Location 2 holds four territories and reported $402,336.56.

Source: Live 2 B Healthy 2026 FDD, Item 19, 2025 Gross Sales Performance (pages 30 to 31). Prepared by the franchisor from franchisee information, not audited. Gross sales are revenue before any expenses.
The 17 protected territories open at least 12 months averaged $132,646.95 of gross sales in 2025, with a median of $129,000. The highest territory reported $709,055.99 and the lowest $29,861.25. Item 19 notes that the data includes franchised and affiliate-owned territories, while Item 20 reports no company-owned territories.
The printed average equals the total divided by 21, not by 17. $2,785,586.30 divided by 17 is $163,858*; divided by 21 it is $132,647*. Location 2 covers four territories, and 17 plus its three extra territories is 20, so the FDD does not show where 21 comes from. The two attainment counts are both 6, while the printed shares are 38% and 48%.
Item 19 publishes no expenses or profit. The FDD states that the figures do not include expenses or profits. The tables in the next section show contract labor, the one cost the FDD reports.

Source: Live 2 B Healthy 2026 FDD, Item 19 (page 31). Averages and totals as printed; shares are Averan calculations from the printed group totals.
The top third averaged $484,101.77 of revenue in 2025 and the bottom third $46,533.33. The middle third averaged $195,649.59. The top-third average is 10.4* times the bottom-third average.
Revenue less contract labor was 65.5%* of sales in the top third, 62.8%* in the middle third and 66.7%* in the bottom third. The insurance share was 67.9%*, 14.4%* and 2.6%* in the same groups.
The thirds are drawn from nine businesses, not from the 17 territories. Location 2 covers four territories, so the nine businesses cover 12 territories. The FDD does not say how the nine were chosen from the reporting group.

Source: Live 2 B Healthy 2026 FDD, Item 5 (page 8), Item 6 (pages 9 to 11) and Item 11 (page 20). Event charges: $500 software setup, $5,000 initial training for three trainees, $1,500 for each further trainee, $10,000 transfer, $5,000 renewal, interest at 18% a year plus $100 a week on late payments, and up to $1,000 for each notice of a violation.
At the average territory of $132,646.95, the royalty, national advertising fee and technology fee come to $20,653* a year, 15.57%* of sales. That uses the $12,000 royalty minimum from month 31, because 7% of the average is $9,285*. Adding the $6,000 local marketing minimum takes the total to 20.09%*. At the median of $129,000 the three charges are 15.95%* of sales.
The 7% royalty exceeds its month-31 minimum at $171,429* of territory revenue, and the 1% local marketing rate exceeds its minimum at $600,000*. Below those levels the territory pays the fixed amounts.
At the lowest territory, $29,861.25, the month-31 minimums and the 2% fee come to $24,597*. The same business (Location 9) reported $19,211.25 of revenue after contract labor.
The minimums apply to each territory, while the initial fee falls with the number of territories. The initial fee is $55,000 for one territory and $200,000 for five, $40,000* a territory. Location 2, with four territories and $402,336.56 of revenue, would pay about $104,047* a year in royalty, fees and local marketing at the month-31 minimums, 25.9%* of revenue, assuming its revenue is split evenly.
The marketing fund spent 50% on administration in 2025. The rest went 30% on media placement and 20% on design, development and production. Under Item 17, failing to pay royalties or other fees within 5 days after they are due is a default that cannot be cured.

One protected territory costs $77,685 to $122,425 to open, of which $71,500 to $89,000 is paid to the franchisor. The $55,000 initial fee is 70.8%* of the low estimate. Veterans receive a $2,500 discount on the first territory’s fee.
Each additional territory raises the estimate by the increase in the initial fee. The FDD prints $122,685 to $167,425 for two territories, $157,685 to $202,425 for three, $202,685 to $247,425 for four and $222,685 to $267,425 for five. The royalty minimum and technology fee start on each further territory once it opens or is due to open.
Each protected territory covers at least 120 senior communities. The territory is not exclusive, and keeping it does not depend on sales volume.
