Benchmarked against every children's education & childcare franchise we've graded from public FDDs — the context the franchisor's pitch never gives you.
What their own earnings claim actually says
No financial performance representations disclosed. Franchisor explicitly states it makes no representations about franchisee financial performance or outlet performance.
Honesty grade F: the disclosed numbers are incomplete or framed to look better than an owner's real take-home.
The FDD lists a total initial investment of about $49,968–$133,200, including a $1,000 initial franchise fee.
How much do Eye Level franchise owners make?
Eye Level discloses little or no earnings data (Item 19) — meaning the franchisor won't put real owner profit in writing. That's a red flag worth questioning.
It depends on the numbers, not the pitch. Eye Level scores F on disclosure honesty, carries about 2.6% of sales in ongoing fees, and discloses 3 legal matters. Get the real owner take-home before you sign.
