The Problem

The franchise industry is built to sell you something.

Most franchise consultants are paid by the franchisor — a referral fee when you sign. That means the person guiding your biggest financial decision has a financial incentive to close you, not protect you.

We don't take referral fees. We don't have brand partnerships. We don't earn more when you say yes. We're Franchise Buyer Advocates — and the only person we answer to is you.

If you're a first-time franchise buyer, this is the advisory you deserve.

How It Works

From curious to confident — in four steps.

01

Score Your Buyer Profile

Complete your free InvestorScore™ — our AI evaluates your capital, risk tolerance, lifestyle goals, and operator profile across 9 factors. You'll know exactly what kind of franchise fits before you talk to anyone.

02

Score the FDD

Upload any Franchise Disclosure Document to FDD Score™. Our AI runs 7 parallel analysis passes — royalty math, Item 19 earnings claims, franchisee turnover, litigation history, and more. You get a scored report in minutes, not weeks.

03

Talk to Real Franchisees

We help you structure and conduct off-list validation calls with existing franchisees — the conversations that reveal what the FDD doesn't say. No script from the franchisor. Real answers.

04

Flat-Fee Advisory Support

Need a human in your corner? Our advisors are available at a flat consulting fee — never a commission. We review your LOI, model your ROI, and help you negotiate from a position of knowledge.

What We Watch For

The questions your franchise consultant won't ask.

These are the questions a broker paid by the franchisor will never ask. We ask every single one.

What is the real franchisee failure rate — not just "closed locations"?

Does Item 19 show actual franchisee earnings, or just top performers?

What do franchisees say off the record — not on the validation list?

Are royalty fees fixed or escalating? What triggers fee increases?

What are the renewal and transfer terms — and what do they cost?

Is the franchisor in litigation with current or former franchisees?

Zero Franchisor Commission. Ever.

We are not on any franchisor's preferred vendor list. We don't earn referral fees. We don't have brand partnerships. Our advisory fee is flat — and it doesn't change based on which franchise you choose or whether you buy at all. That's what Franchise Buyer Advocacy actually means.
