Services
Everything here is designed to help you close the gap between what you are told and what you are actually buying — using facts, disclosures, and real-world evidence.
Go beyond the disclosure document with a comprehensive review of both the franchise's current FDD and Franchise Agreement. This report examines the brand's financial performance, system growth and closures, fees, investment requirements, franchisor financial health, litigation, and other key disclosures, then takes a deeper look at the contractual obligations that will govern the franchise relationship.
The Franchise Agreement analysis covers critical provisions involving fees and ongoing obligations, defaults and termination, renewal, transfer and exit restrictions, non-competes, personal guarantees, dispute resolution, required system changes, franchisor discretion, and other terms prospective franchisees should understand before signing.
Each report is independently researched, prepared, and reviewed by the founder of Franchise Reality Check™, providing a clear, objective look at both what the FDD discloses and what the Franchise Agreement requires. Current delivery times are 1 to 2 business days, report will be sent to your email so please ensure emails from justfacts@franchiserealitycheck.com are not going to your spam folder.
Get an independent, in-depth look at the franchise brand you’re considering.

This is independent franchise research intended to help you make a more informed decision. It is not legal, financial, investment, or tax advice and should not replace review by qualified professional advisors.
“I built this because I know what the sales process looks like from the inside. I know what franchisors emphasize and what they leave out. And I know what questions most buyers never think to ask until it's too late. Everything here is designed to give prospective buyers what I wish I had before signing."
