Terms of use

Information, not advice

MyFranchiseCost summarizes figures that franchisors publish in their Franchise Disclosure Documents. We work to get them right, but filings change and mistakes happen. Nothing here is legal, tax, financial or investment advice. Read the full, current FDD and franchise agreement and consult a qualified franchise attorney and accountant before you invest.

Not affiliated with any franchisor

Brand names belong to their owners and are used only to identify the filings we summarize. We aren't endorsed by, or paid by, any franchisor.

Early access and payment

Joining early access is free and reserves launch pricing. No charge is made until we email you that your plan is ready and you confirm payment. Advisor and Firm plans are billed monthly or annually, can be cancelled any time and stop at the end of the paid period. Brand Reports and Category Benchmarks are one-time purchases delivered by email. The Shortlist Pass is a one-time purchase that ends 30 days after access starts and does not renew. The free Brand Snapshot needs only an email address. Founding-member pricing: the first 100 members keep their launch price for as long as they stay subscribed.

Using the data

Buyer purchases (the Brand Snapshot, Brand Reports and the Shortlist Pass) are for your own research. Advisor and Firm plans may also be used to advise your own clients. Please don't resell or republish our compiled data in bulk.

Liability

The service is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before a claim.
