Source-document comparisons
Compare Franchises by FDD Evidence, SBA Outcomes, and Unit Movement
Build a shortlist from disclosed franchise economics instead of generic AI summaries: FDD Item 19 transparency, investment ranges, royalty and ad fund burden, Item 20 unit movement, SBA default outcomes, and missing-data labels in one compare workflow.
Compare any two franchises using disclosure-backed metrics
Pro feature. See pricing →
FDD disclosures
Item 19 status, investment range, fee burden, and transparency badges show what the franchisor actually disclosed.
SBA outcomes
Default rate, charged-off dollars, loan count, and sample-size caveats keep lender history in view.
Unit movement
Franchised-unit count, one-year net change, and closure proxies flag growth quality instead of brand hype.
Buyer assumptions
Missing data stays labeled, returns are model outputs, and low-sample results are not treated as proof.
New market-entry tool
Compare franchise entry structures →
Choose between a license, founder-led JV, area development agreement, master franchise, or acquisition based on capital, control, geography, brand maturity, and diligence burden.
