Compared with every brand we can rate, Ameriprise Financial is better than 83% of them
That is 420 brands across every industry, which is a rougher comparison than like-for-like — a cleaning franchise and a restaurant do not carry the same risk. We use it here because Investment Advice has only 0 brands with enough finished loans to compare against. See the peers anyway →
Based on 359 finished loans.
1 of 359 franchisees who borrowed to buy this brand did not repay. See every loan →
There is more in Ameriprise Financial’s filing
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
One price opens all of it, on every brand we have read. 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.
