Hey PH! I built this because I was evaluating franchise investments myself and couldn't believe how hard it was to find objective data. Franchise brokers earn $15-30K per placement and have zero incentive to show you the risky brands. So I pulled SBA FOIA data, FDDs, and public filings for 105 franchises and organized them into reports with 60+ data points each. Some findings that surprised me: Orangetheory Fitness has a 76% SBA loan default rate. Domino's has 0.7%. The gap between the advertised franchise fee and the real total investment is often 10-20x. Some of the highest-scoring franchises are brands most people have never heard of. McDonald's and Wingstop reports are completely free — check those first to see the depth. Would love your feedback on what data points matter most to you.
