What Is DOXA?

DOXA is a franchise that solicits, markets, offers, and sells staff augmentation and business process outsourcing solutions to local business clients. It serves local businesses (B2B) under tri-party Client Account Agreements in which franchisees handle marketing, solicitation, negotiation of financial terms, and ongoing client support while DOXA (or its affiliates) supplies offshore talent and related BPO services. Franchisees must complete specialized training, operate under the DOXA System and adhere to the franchisor's operating methods, and DOXA will collect client payments and remit the franchisee a percentage of the markup.

DOXA Franchise: Pros and Cons

The franchise's standout strength is a pristine legal and regulatory record - 0 disclosed lawsuits, 0 franchisee-initiated judgments/settlements, 0 government penalties and 0 franchisor enforcement actions - but a major risk is a high buy-in, with an initial franchise fee around $60,000 (Item 7: $60,499–$61,275) that is well above typical.

Pros

0 outlet terminations is well below what's typical in retail, indicating franchisees are staying in the system rather than exiting early.

0 disclosed lawsuits, 0 franchisee-initiated judgments/settlements, 0 government penalties and 0 franchisor enforcement actions is well below industry norms, giving you a clean legal and regulatory record to inherit.

Item 7 asset requirements ($525–$1,600) and Item 7 training costs ($0) are well below typical for retail, meaning less immediate cash tied up and no paid training fees up front.

Cons

Initial franchise fee of roughly $60,000 (Item 7 fee min $60,499; max $61,275) is well above typical for retail, materially increasing the cash required to buy in.

Managers are required to hold equity (an uncommon requirement - only about 10% of franchises do this), which reduces flexibility in structuring management compensation and could complicate hiring.

The franchisor requires a dedicated legal entity (uncommon - only ~5.5% of retail franchises), adding setup complexity and potential legal/accounting costs at launch.

Franchise vs Corporate Performance: Key per-seat pricing and markup metrics for the most recent year (2025): Average Client Rate per Seat - Franchisee 1: $2,633.52; Corporate: $2,675.51 (Corporate ≈ $42 higher). Average Markup per Seat - Franchisee 1: $557.63; Corporate: $528.12 (Franchisee ≈ $29 higher). Year-end seat and client snapshot (Dec 2025): Franchisee 1 - 77 seats / 30 clients; Corporate - 765 seats / 161 clients. Percent of seats at/above the average client rate reported: Franchisee 1 = 40% (30 seats); Corporate = 37.5% (285 seats). These figures show similar realized client pricing between Franchisee 1 and Corporate, with Franchisee 1 achieving slightly higher markup per seat despite a marginally lower average client rate.

Performance Variability Analysis: Observed variability across seats and months: Client Rate ranges - Franchisee 1: low $1,860 / high $4,423.18; Corporate: low $1,374.15 / high $7,525.91, indicating wider spread at Corporate (larger pool, more outliers). Markup ranges - Franchisee 1: low $173.84 / high $894.00; Corporate: low $274.15 / high $1,218.91. Franchisee 1 monthly markup-share trend (Table D) shows material growth over 2025: March $8,708.85 → December $17,627.65 (≈101% increase), illustrating accelerating revenue/markup capture as seats and utilization ramped. The percent of seats at/above average client rate (40% Franchisee 1, 37.5% Corporate) indicates substantial intra-location dispersion - many seats are priced below the location average, while a sizable minority achieve above-average rates.

Data Scope and Limitations: The Item 19 disclosure is limited: data sources are the Affiliate Location and a single franchised outlet (Franchisee 1) plus corporate operations for 2025. The franchised-sample is effectively one franchisee (other franchisees opened after March 1, 2025 were excluded). The presentation provides per-seat client rates, markups and monthly markup-share amounts but does not provide gross sales, COGS or net income figures - those fields are not reported in Item 19 and therefore are not available here. The Item 19 information is not identified as audited. Client Rate excludes pass-through costs and sales taxes. Because of the small franchised sample and the larger corporate pool differences, results may not be predictive of future franchisees' performance and individual results may vary.
