We analyze your market, your budget, and what you actually want — then show you the franchises that fit.
Three short steps, around five minutes total. No broker calls, no spam, no hard sell.
Interests, budget, where you want to open, and how hands-on you want to be — owner-operator, manager-led, or investor.
Local market data, category saturation, competition, and franchise options with open territory near you — pulled from publicly-filed FDDs.
Ranked recommendations with fit scores, real next steps, side-by-side comparison, and a roadmap from idea to open for business.
The exact roadmap successful franchise owners follow — without the $5,000 consultant.
Population, income, dominant industries, growth, and which categories are over- or under-served in your specific area.
Every franchise we surface gets a 0–100 fit score against your goals, budget, location, and operating style.
Stack up to three franchises across investment, royalty, territory, training, and unit economics — with an AI summary tailored to you.
Ask "why did you rank Crumbl first?" or "what if my budget was $500K?" and get a grounded answer based on your actual data.
A four-phase checklist from research and FDD review through financing, territory, signing, and opening day. Track progress as you go.
Pro tier auto-generates a full business plan PDF, financing templates (SBA, ROBS, HELOC), and franchisor intro emails.
Three tiers, no broker fees, cancel anytime. Your top franchise pick is always free.
No. We don't take referral fees from franchisors, and we never will. FranchiseGuide is an informational tool — our recommendations are based on your inputs and publicly-filed FDD data, not who pays us the most.
Investment ranges, royalties, fees, and unit economics are sourced from Franchise Disclosure Documents that franchisors are legally required to file. Market data combines census data, business registries, and category benchmarks.
About 30 seconds. We scan available franchises, check territory near your location, analyze local market conditions, and rank by fit — all in real time.
Yes. Paid users get up to three reports per day — different cities, different budgets, different operating styles. Pro users get unlimited reports.
Never. The whole experience lives in the app. When you're ready to contact a franchisor, we give you a templated intro email — you decide when and whether to send it.
Anytime, in two taps from your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. We don't lock you in or hide the cancel button.
