FDD ITEM 20 · FISCAL 2022–2025
OFFICE EVOLUTION Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), OFFICE EVOLUTION reported 84 franchised outlets at year end. 3 of 84 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 3.6%— while 3 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +6.3% over 2022–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 73 | 79 | 79 | 84 |
| Opened | 14 | 2 | 8 | 3 |
| Transfers | 1 | 3 | 3 | 6 |
| Terminations | 0 | 2 | 2 | 3 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 79 | 79 | 84 | 84 |
| Net change | +6 | 0 | +5 | 0 |
3 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 3 exits ÷ 84 at start = 3.6%
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 OFFICE EVOLUTION's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
