Note 14 – Notes Receivable

Several franchisees borrowed funds from us primarily to finance the initial purchase price of office assets, including intangible assets.

Notes outstanding, net of allowance for losses, were approximately $7.8 million and $9.6 million as of December 31, 2024 and  December 31, 2023, respectively. Notes receivable generally bear interest at a fixed rate between 6.0% and 10.0%. Notes receivable are generally secured by the assets of each office and the ownership interests in the franchise. We report interest income on notes receivable as interest income in our consolidated statements of income. Interest income was approximately $556 thousand and $263 thousand during the year ended  December 31, 2024 and  December 31, 2023, respectively. 

We estimate the allowance for credit losses for franchisees separately from the allowance for credit losses from non-franchisees because of the level of detailed sales information available to us with respect to our franchisees. Based on our review of the financial condition of the borrowers, the underlying collateral value, and the potential future impact of the economy on certain borrowers’ economic performance and estimated future cash flows, we have established an allowance of approximately $773 thousand and $623 thousand as of  December 31, 2024 and  December 31, 2023, respectively, for potentially uncollectible notes receivable from franchisees.

The following table summarizes our notes receivable balance to franchisees:

(in thousands)			December 31, 2024				December 31, 2023
Note receivable		$	8,603			$	10,245
Allowance for losses			(773	)			(623	)
Notes receivable, net		$	7,830			$	9,622
