But are franchises really that profitable? In this article, we will gain a basic understanding of profit as well as how much you can earn by owning an ActionCOACH franchise..
Before we take a look at the profit of owning an ActionCOACH Franchise, it’s important understand how businesses work out their profit – both their gross profit and net profit. Profit is a metric businesses use to see how much their business is making. Basically, your profits (both net and gross) determine the dollar amount your business keeps after taking into account all your outgoing expenses.
It’s important to look at both your gross and net profit to understand the profit of your business. Your gross profit takes into consideration the expenses that are directly related to selling your product or service. Revenue less COGS (cost of goods sold) = gross revenue. This figures provides insight into how profitable your product or service is, but doesn’t take into consideration how profitable the entire business is.
When it comes to figuring out the profit of a business you need to determine your net income. You can find your net income by subtracting all of your expenses from the revenue your business generated in the same time period. This final figure is your net revenue and will tell you how profitable your business is.
Here is an example, if your business generated $100,000 in one month and your total expenses (cost of goods sold and operating costs) were $70,000 for the same month your net income is $30,000.
