About this Gig

How much money can you actually make with this franchise? FDD Item 19 (Financial Performance Representations) is where franchisors state their earnings claims. However, they often use clever accounting and legal loopholes to make the numbers look better than they are.


As a US Attorney, I analyze Item 19 to protect prospective franchisees from misleading financial claims. I will dissect the data to reveal what the franchisor is not telling you.


My Legal Review Includes:

  • Methodology Check: Are they using gross sales while hiding massive operating expenses?
  • Data Pooling: Are they only showing the numbers for top-performing, corporate-owned locations?
  • FTC Compliance: Does their disclosure meet the strict legal requirements of the Federal Trade Commission?
  • Exclusion Analysis: Identifying hidden costs like royalties, marketing fees, and supply markups that aren't reflected in the FPR.


I will provide you with a written legal memo breaking down the reality of their financial claims so you can make a safe, informed investment.
