The Research Problem
Gut-feel franchise shopping
costs you 11 months.
Independent franchise research is broken. Buyers drown in FDDs, broker conflicts of interest, and data that's two years stale by the time it reaches them.

of independent businesses fail within 5 years
"I spent eleven months reviewing FDDs, talking to brokers, flying to discovery days. Every conversation gave me a different number. I almost gave up."

Discovery days booked. Travel costs: $4,200. No clear winner yet.
Month 7–9
Attorney review, Item 19 disputes, recast financials. Confusion compounds.
Month 10–11
Decision fatigue. Two candidates drop out. Back to month 1.

Franchisee Voices
From the people
who closed the deal.
"FranchiseFinder surfaced three brands I'd never heard of that fit my $280K budget and open territories within 15 miles of my zip. Closed on my second unit six weeks after signing up."
Priya Nambiar
Multi-unit operator · 3 locations, Denver CO
"The verified AUV data saved me from a brand that looked great on paper. Their Item 19 recast showed median unit volume 40% below what the broker quoted. That's the data I needed."
Marcus Webb
Former finance director → franchisee, Chicago IL
"I had a spreadsheet with 22 brands and zero clarity. The match score collapsed it to 4 real candidates in an afternoon. I knew which territory was mine before my first discovery day."
