What Is Nextaff?

Nextaff is a franchise for the operation of a NEXTAFF Office that provides services directly to clients. The operational model is office-based, with franchised, branded offices governed by the franchisor's System. Its "Client" is defined as customers who retain, hire, or enter into agreements for services, including affiliate companies, and the System includes distinctive signage, interior and exterior design and decor, uniform standards and procedures for operation of the Office, and management, financial, and training support.

Nextaff Franchise: Pros and Cons

The key strength is its virtually zero upfront cost-a $1 franchise fee refundable on failure-paired with 181 hours of initial training, a Training & Support score of 100, and a spotless legal record (no terminations, lawsuits, enforcement actions); the main risk is that such low fees and clean history could reflect a very small, unproven brand with limited market reach.

Pros

At $1, the initial franchise fee is essentially zero (bottom 5% for Business Services) and initial fees are refundable on failure, which greatly reduces the cash you need to commit up front.

181 hours of initial training is well above typical (top 10%), paired with a Training & Support score of 100 (top quarter) - the franchisor clearly invests heavily in preparing new operators.

The system shows a remarkably clean operational and legal record - zero terminations, non-renewals, disclosed lawsuits, franchisor enforcement actions, government penalties, franchisee judgments/settlements, or fraud cases (all bottom 5%) - reducing legal and conflict risk for franchisees.

Cons

Lawsuits & Legal Risk

100

Excellent

Nextaff reported no material legal proceedings,

Territory Protection

51/100

Good

Nextaff grants a protected territory defined by county/ZIP boundaries, exclusive for Commercial and Healthcare but non‑exclusive for the Technology vertical. Territory rights include performance contingencies (Exhibit C), and the franchisor retains the right to develop nearby units affecting market density, to authorize alternative distribution channels including e‑commerce, and to approve relocations.

Training & Support

100

Excellent

Nextaff provides a comprehensive 181-hour training curriculum designed to prepare three staff members for launch. The program includes on-site launch support for operational readiness; travel and lodging expenses are the franchisee's responsibility, and on-site assistance incurs additional fees.

Franchise vs Corporate Performance: The Item 19 sample (measurement period ending Dec 31, 2023) covers 17 Traditional Units (16 franchisee-owned and 1 company-owned). Average gross revenue for those 17 units was $2,583,887 and the median was $2,293,699, with a range from $204,896 to $6,490,111. The company-owned location P&L shown separately reports positive gross profit but lower net operating income after adjustments; however, Item 19's revenue and gross-profit statistics are primarily based on the 17 Traditional Units rather than the single company-owned office.

Performance Variability Analysis: Performance is highly variable across units. Only 6 of 17 units (35%) were above the average gross revenue and 11 (65%) below. Quartile reporting shows Top 25% average gross revenue of about $5.20M (median $5.07M) vs Bottom 25% average ~$717,605 (median ~$756,988). Average gross profit dollars were $562,698 (median $488,336) and average gross profit percentage was 26.19% (median 21.70%), with gross profit % across units ranging roughly 14.41% to 55.10% - indicating substantial margin dispersion driven by scale and labor/operational differences.

Data Scope and Limitations: The Item 19 figures apply to 17 Traditional Units that operated the full 12‑month measurement period; non‑traditional/satellite units and units not operating the full period were excluded. Definitions: Gross Revenue = all money paid for services; Direct Payroll Costs = Gross Wages + Payroll Burden. Average gross wages were $1,767,521 and average payroll burden $253,667 (so average Direct Payroll Costs ≈ $2,021,188). The disclosure does not provide an average net income (after SG&A, rent, royalties, etc.) for the 17-unit sample, and the Item 19 information is historical (measurement period ended 12/31/2023) - individual results may differ and franchisor offers to provide substantiation upon request.
