CAREPATROL Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), CAREPATROL reported 215 franchised outlets at year end. 7 of 201 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 3.5%— while 21 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +24.3% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 160 | 173 | 201 |
| Opened | 27 | 41 | 21 |
| Transfers | 8 | 9 | 6 |
| Terminations | 7 | 7 | 5 |
| Non-renewals | 3 | 5 | 1 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 4 | 1 | 1 |
| Outlets at end | 173 | 201 | 215 |
| Net change | +13 | +28 | +14 |
5 terminations + 1 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 7 exits ÷ 201 at start = 3.5%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (6) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (0) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.

A broker is paid by the franchisor to place you. An independent CPA is paid by you — and the job is pressure-testing CAREPATROL's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
