The Covery vs Vital Care
Reviewed figures from each brand's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), side by side. Each figure carries its FDD year and page. This is not a ranking or recommendation, and the two FDDs may cover different years and location groups.
Before you compare
- The Covery figures come from its 2025 FDD and Vital Care figures from its 2026 FDD, so the years differ.
- The Covery discloses more than one business format, so the investment range spans formats; the full report breaks them out.
- Item 19 figures cover the location groups each FDD names (The Covery: 1, Vital Care: 10). Different groups are not directly comparable.
