What Is DOXA Talent?

DOXA Talent is a franchise that solicits, markets, offers and sells staff augmentation and business process outsourcing solutions to local business clients under the DOXA trademark. Franchisees acquire and manage client accounts and enter into tri-party Client Account Agreements with DOXA and each client that define the parties’ roles and responsibilities. The core service bundle is the provision of offshore talent and related BPO/staff-augmentation support, with the franchisor/affiliates providing training, certain technology equipment/services and handling client billing while remitting a percentage of the markup to franchisees.

DOXA Talent Franchise: Pros and Cons

One key strength is the unusually clean legal and regulatory record-no disclosed lawsuits, settlements, government penalties, or franchisor-initiated enforcement actions and zero outlet terminations or non-renewals-which reduces legal risk; the main downside is a $60,000 initial franchise fee, placing it in the top 10% of systems and requiring materially more upfront cash.

Pros

No disclosed lawsuits, settlements, government penalties, or franchisor-initiated enforcement actions - an unusually clean legal and regulatory record for Business Services (well below typical), which reduces legal risk and due-diligence friction.

Zero outlet terminations and zero non-renewals - well below typical for Business Services, suggesting few operators have left the system through formal termination or non-renewal.

Very low Item 7 figures and training costs (Item 7 assets reported $525 min / $1,600 max; Item 7 training $0) - well below typical for Business Services, which keeps the stated initial cash-on-hand and training expense requirements modest.

Cons

The $60,000 initial franchise fee is well above what's common across franchises (top 10% of all systems), meaning you'll need materially more upfront cash than typical.

The franchisor requires managers to hold equity - uncommon in Business Services (only ~10.6% do); this adds complexity to hiring, compensation, and ownership structuring.

The franchisor requires you to form a dedicated legal entity - uncommon in Business Services (only ~2.9% do), creating extra legal and administrative setup costs.

Franchise vs Corporate Performance: Client-rate and markup performance for the most recent period (2025) show very similar average client rates per seat between Franchisee 1 and the Corporate/Affiliate location: Franchisee 1 average client rate $2,633.52 vs Corporate $2,675.51. Average markup per seat is slightly higher for Franchisee 1 ($557.63) than Corporate ($528.12). As a percent of the average client rate, the average markup is approximately 21.2% for Franchisee 1 and ~19.7% for Corporate (calculated = average markup / average client rate). The number/percent of seats at or above the average client rate is shown as 30 seats (40%) for Franchisee 1 and 285 seats (37.5%) for Corporate, so Franchisee 1 had a marginally higher share of seats meeting or exceeding its average client rate.

Performance Variability Analysis: There is materially greater upside volatility at Corporate: Corporate high client rate per seat = $7,525.91 vs Franchisee 1 high = $4,423.18, and Corporate low client rate = $1,374.15 vs Franchisee 1 low = $1,860.00. Similarly on markup, Corporate high = $1,218.91 vs Franchisee 1 high = $894.00 and Corporate low = $274.15 vs Franchisee 1 low = $173.84. Monthly operational metrics (Table A) show growth in client counts and seats through 2025 - Franchisee 1 clients rose from 22 in March to 30 in December and seats from 50 to 77; Corporate clients and seats also increased through the year - supporting the rising monthly markup share reported for Franchisee 1 (Table D). This indicates revenue growth driven by expanding seat utilization, but also that Corporate locations have a wider dispersion in client rates and markups (greater upside and downside potential).

Data Scope and Limitations: The Item 19 disclosure is limited in scope. Tables B and C present detailed per-seat client-rate and markup statistics only for the Affiliate (Corporate) location and a single franchised location (Franchisee 1). As of December 31, 2025 the franchisor had 5 franchisees open; the company excluded data from 4 franchisees that opened after March 1, 2025. The disclosure does not provide gross sales, cost of goods sold, net income, or an audited financial statement. The sample is small and not fully representative of all franchised locations; results may not generalize to future franchisees. Written substantiation is available upon request per the FDD notes.
