Is this legal advice?

No. We organize what franchisors disclose so you can compare it quickly. Have a franchise attorney review the full FDD and agreement before you sign.

When am I charged?

Not yet. Signing up reserves your plan at launch pricing. We'll email you before anything is billed, and you can change or cancel then.

What if a brand I need isn't covered?

Request it and we'll add it, usually within 10 business days. Advisor and Firm plans get priority.

Where does the data come from?

Directly from franchisors' public FDD filings in state registries, with page references so you can check every number.
