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:
- What Item 19 states its outlets earn, and on how many of them
- Every ongoing fee, not just the royalty — priced in dollars a year
- How many franchisees left, were terminated, or sold up
- Territory, renewal, non-compete and dispute terms
- What in the record is worth asking about, and why
- A five-year projection you can put your own rent, wages and borrowing into
Once opened it stays open.
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.
