Franchise Acquisition

Know what you're buying before you sign the franchise agreement

Inspection history is the health record your FDD doesn't include.

You're buying into a brand that operates across multiple cities. The FDD tells you unit counts, fees, and financials. It doesn't tell you which markets have chronic violation patterns, which territories are at closure risk, or how this brand's health compliance compares to its competitors. We pull that from government inspection records across every jurisdiction we cover — delivered before your LOI.

The problem today

Sound familiar?

The FDD doesn't include inspection history

Franchise disclosure documents cover financials, litigation, and franchise exits. Inspection records are public but aren't aggregated anywhere, so buyers skip them entirely.

Territory matters. Brand doesn't capture it.

A brand can look clean nationally but have systematic violations in the specific territory you're buying. You need location-level data across your target markets, not brand-level averages.

Closure risk is invisible before closing

A location that gets closed for 6 weeks loses 15% of its annual revenue. If closures are a pattern in your target territory, that's a material risk — and it doesn't show up in the financials you're seeing.

“We almost closed on a territory with a string of critical violations we didn't know about. A pre-LOI inspection report would have saved us from a very difficult conversation with our lender.”
