How we review a brand

What we check before a franchise joins

Two franchises can cost the same and read identically in a brochure. One opens in four months with three people on payroll. The other spends a year in permitting. This is what we look at before a brand joins the portfolio.

What we look for
Startup costs you can trace line by line in the FDD
Revenue in the first months, not the second year
Employees the business genuinely needs to run
An Item 19 with real numbers in it
A buildout measured in months
Decades of history and a clean litigation record
What gives us pause
An investment figure nobody can source
A year of spending before the first dollar arrives
Roles invented to make a filing look better
A blank or thin Item 19
Permits, fit-out and an opening date that keeps moving
A young system with lawsuits on file

The seal reflects our vetting, not a guarantee of visa approval, which is always decided by the U.S. government. Screening is a commercial review carried out by our franchise analysts, and eligibility for any visa is assessed by the independent immigration attorney you engage directly.
