What it costs to open is free, above. Access opens what the franchisor disclosed about earning it back — here and on every other brand we have read.

One brand of your choosing opens free with an account, for a year. From $49 for more, up to $199 for every brand we have read. Nothing renews itself.

Takes an email and a password. You land back here and choose which brand to open — it stays open for a year. Or see what more costs.Already have an account?

What that opens

  • Every ongoing fee in Item 6 priced in dollars a year, not just the royalty
  • How many franchisees left that year, which a headline outlet count hides
  • How long the agreement binds you, and on what terms it renews
  • Whether the franchisor earns from the suppliers it requires you to use
  • A five-year model you drive with your own rent, wages, borrowing and ramp

The loan record stays free — how many of this brand’s franchisees borrowed from a bank to buy in, and how many never paid it back. That is a public government record and we do not charge for it. What you pay for is only what we read out of the franchisor’s own disclosure document.

FDD data sourced from public state filings. We are not a franchise broker; we do not receive payment from franchisors and do not sell your information. Figures are read from the filing by a machine and link to the page they came from — check any of them against the source. Read the current disclosure document, and take advice from a franchise attorney, before you sign anything.
