Motivera Search Group franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Motivera Search Group does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for Motivera Search Group — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (67% of staffing & recruiting franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Motivera Search Group's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Staffing & recruiting franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Motivera Search Group lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Motivera Search Group's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.
Motivera Search Group closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Motivera Search Group will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Motivera Search Group's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a staffing & recruiting of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Motivera Search Group's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.
Who owns Motivera Search Group?
Motivera Search Group's franchise is offered by Motivera Franchising Group, Inc. — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at CA DFPI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
