Facts on this page are sourced from Sylvan Learning's Franchise Disclosure Document. Source: https://www.franchisechatter.com/2023/10/03/fdd-talk-sylvan-learning-franchise-costs-fees-average-revenues-and-or-profits-2023-review/

Royalty (16% of gross revenue, min $32,000/yr) and brand fund (8%, capped at $40,000/territory/yr) figures are unusually high compared to most franchise systems in this dataset; verify against a primary FDD if possible. Item 19 in the source FDD was reported by quartile (top 25%: avg $842,462; bottom 25%: avg $162,167 for FY2022) rather than a single system-wide average/median, so item19_avg_revenue/median_revenue are left null to avoid misrepresenting a quartile breakdown as a single figure; item19_sample_size (340 territories) is filled. Item20_by_year figures are franchised-outlet counts only. Items 3, 4, 12, 17 not covered by source and left null.
