How to Find and Review Financial Disclosure Documents Online

How to Find and Review Financial Disclosure Documents Online

• Entrepreneur culture in America glorifies tech startup founders, but the reality is that 90%+ of startups fail.
• But, multi-unit franchise ownership can be a life-changing path in Entrepreneurship. So I decided I wanted to be a resource for current and potential franchise owners and do everything I could to show them the path to success.

Why did I create this guide?

50% of franchise owners in America today either own multiple locations or multiple brands. I want to highlight the franchise brands that are showing true potential and highlight the entrepreneurs that are building incredible, successful Franchise Empires. But I ran into a few problems.

Financial transparency is lacking in the franchise industry.

• With over 4,000 brands out there, it's difficult for a newcomer to navigate the ecosystem of franchises on their own. There's not as much transparency as you'd expect for a six-figure investment.
• Many franchises don't share any information on how much money you can earn as a franchise owner. But if your business is worth buying, why not share information on it?

Investing in a franchise starts with the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which exists to protect consumers from being taken advantage of when purchasing a franchise.

So if you’re looking to own a franchise, they are an essential starting point.  

• The problem is that many don't have FDD access until after they've contacted a franchisor and are involved in a high-pressure sales process.
• FDDs are also lengthy, complex, and expensive. 

This is why I created this step-by-step guide for potential franchisees on how to find and review FDDs online without breaking the bank. 

What's inside:

• How to find backdoor access to FDDs without contacting anyone
• A deep understanding of the most important components of the FDD
• How to apply the information in the FDD to your franchise ownership decision-making process
• The FDD Evaluator Tool for potential franchisees to conduct research on which franchise is the best fit for you.

You'll benefit from this if:

• You're currently looking to buy a franchise
• You've never bought a franchise before, and you're not sure where to start
• You're cautious about your investments and want to make a sound financial decision
• You want to avoid costly mistakes and high-pressure sales tactics
• You want to make the most of your franchise investment

What are people saying?

"Incredible take as always. I’ve said it before- anyone who has any interest in franchises needs to buy! Do it now!"

"I’ve been in franchising for 15 years and I believe you’re on to something regarding your approach."
