A PrideStaff Office is a local business-to-business staffing operation that sells temporary, temporary-to-hire, and direct-hire Staffing Services. The franchisee's team wins Client job orders and recruits, screens, and places talent; PrideStaff, Inc. remains employer of record for Temporary Associates and controls Client contracts, credit, billing, collections, core technology, digital marketing, and National Accounts.
The Office must continuously develop local Clients, fill job orders, manage assignments, and maintain prescribed records. The financial workflow runs through PrideStaff, Inc.: the franchisor employs Temporary Associates, funds payroll-related obligations, invoices Clients, collects receivables, and remits the calculated Franchisee Share after applicable deductions.

What does a PrideStaff Office sell, and who buys it?
The Office sells authorized Staffing Services to businesses and other enterprises called Clients. PrideStaff targets small and medium-sized businesses, with assignments across office, accounting, customer service, manufacturing, warehouse, logistics, skilled-trades, legal, insurance, and medical-office roles.
Short-term assignment
A Temporary Associate replaces, assists, or supplements a Client's employees. PrideStaff, Inc. is the employer; the Office recruits, screens, hires on its behalf, dispatches, and manages the assignment.
Assignment with conversion path
The Temporary Associate begins an assignment that may convert to the Client's payroll after an agreed period. A Conversion Fee applies under the franchisor-controlled Client arrangement.
Permanent placement
The Office connects a candidate with a prospective employer for permanent employment. The Client hires directly; the placement agreement, receivable, and collection remain in PrideStaff's system.
The standard Office may place administrative, general-office, light-industrial, and other authorized personnel. An approved PrideStaff Financial desk adds accounting and finance staffing, specialized training, and at least one additional full-time PSF Specialist. G.A. Rogers & Associates is unavailable to new franchisees but may continue with qualifying successor operators or buyers.

How does work move from a Client need to payment and follow-up?
The cycle joins local selling and recruiting to centralized employment, billing, and collection. The Office creates demand, captures job orders, places talent, and manages quality; PrideStaff, Inc. supplies the employer-of-record, receivables, remittance, technology, and control layer.

Can the Office be manager-run, and what staffing decisions remain local?
A trained Branch Manager may run the Office full time, but the Majority Owner must continue active part-time oversight. Without an approved manager arrangement, the Majority Owner personally manages full time. The disclosure does not support passive absentee ownership.
The FDD identifies the Majority Owner, Branch Manager, business development manager, staffing consultant, PSF Specialist, and designated trainees, but no universal Office headcount. The franchisee selects internal staffing and compensation while maintaining sufficient trained personnel and program-specific roles.

What does the exclusive Territory protect, and where are the exceptions?
The Territory protects Approved Locations and, while the franchisee remains in Good Standing, limits another PrideStaff Office's direct solicitation or service for Client locations inside the map. It does not transfer Digital Marketing, National Accounts, or other-brand staffing rights.
| Operating right | Contractual limit | Practical effect |
|---|---|---|
| Serve the mapped Territory | One or more Approved Locations; expansion and relocation require written approval. | The franchisee chooses local execution within an approved physical and geographic structure. |
| Sell through local channels | Outside-Territory solicitation or service, including Internet activity, needs prior written consent. | Cross-border accounts can be stopped or transferred at PrideStaff's direction. |
| Use digital channels | PrideStaff reserves exclusive control of brand-related Digital Marketing and may own permitted accounts. | The Office cannot independently operate a brand website or social account without written consent. |
| Service a National Account Client | PrideStaff controls the relationship and may authorize, require, or revoke local participation. | A multi-territory Client can override ordinary local account control. |
An annual Minimum Performance Standard based on Temporary Staffing Services Gross Margin is tied to continued operation. Failure may lead to a Performance Improvement Plan, Territory reduction, a resale period, or termination; it is not a quota that guarantees exclusivity.

What does Item 20 show about the operating network?
Year-end components show 65 Franchised Offices and 6 Company-Owned Offices at December 31, 2025. The 71-Office sum is used because Item 20 Table 1's total row does not reconcile with the component disclosures.
U.S. Office composition at December 31, 2025
Exact component counts disclosed in the 2026 FDD
Interpretation: franchisees perform most local selling, recruiting, and assignment management, while a smaller company-owned base operates within the same employer-of-record, technology, and Client-control structure.
Source: PrideStaff 2026 FDD, Item 19 notes and Item 20 Tables 1 and 4, pp. 42-47. Calculation: 65 + 6 = 71; 65 / 71 = 91.5%; 6 / 71 = 8.5%; percentages reconcile to 100.0%.
Franchised Offices moved from 74 at year-end 2023 to 68 in 2024 and 65 in 2025; Company-Owned Offices moved from 4 to 4 to 6. During 2025, six franchised Offices opened, one terminated, two were reacquired, and six ceased for other reasons; one Georgia Office both opened and closed.
Which operating details require document-level confirmation?
The FDD defines the control architecture, but unit-level choices remain in the Territory map, Manuals, supplier list, and technology specifications. Those documents determine the exact staffing plan and daily process.

How should the PrideStaff model be understood?
A local Office sells Staffing Services to Clients and converts job orders into temporary assignments, temporary-to-hire conversions, or direct-hire placements. The franchisee's central responsibility is sustained Client development and accurate talent selection and assignment management.
The strongest dependency is PrideStaff, Inc.'s control of Temporary Associate employment, Client contracts, receivables, software, data access, Digital Marketing, and National Accounts. Territory protection is local and conditional; the employer-of-record and commercial infrastructure are centralized. The largest undisclosed question is the current Office staffing pattern and Manual procedure for a specific Territory and service mix.
