Flat. One payment. Before the broker. Before any commitment.

The smarter first step.
Before everything else.

Before you talk to a broker. Before you attend a discovery day. Before you pay a franchise attorney. Know your shortlist.

i.
Brokers are paid by franchisors
Their shortlist is their partner network. Ours is the whole market, ranked against your criteria.
ii.
Manual research is scattered
Most buyers compare 4–6 brands over months. We screen all 488 in seconds.
iii.
Data from FDD filings
Every fee, investment range, and unit count from public Franchise Disclosure Documents.
iv.
Know where to focus
A starting point for due diligence. The report helps you prioritize where to look first.

A dossier.
Not a quiz result.

Real output from a $750K semi-absentee screening. Generated against your inputs — based on public franchise data.
