Minimize Risk, Maximize Potential
About Us
Franchise Reports was created with a simple mission of helping people find better franchises.
Our team has been behind the growth of global brands like Club Pilates, StretchLab, and F45—franchises that now have over 5,000 locations combined.
While working in the industry, we were often surprised by great franchises flying under the radar. If it was hard for us to stay on top of what’s out there, it’s no surprise that most people feel overwhelmed when starting their search.
Franchise Reports was built to change that.
We help aspiring business owners discover franchises with real potential—brands backed by strong fundamentals, proven support systems, and long-term viability—while avoiding those that lack the qualities needed to help you reach your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to work with Franchise Reports?
Why work with a franchise advisor instead of on my own?
We simplify the search, saving you time and helping you avoid costly mistakes. We match you with franchises based on your goals, budget, and lifestyle while providing insider knowledge and data you won’t find online.
Do I need business experience?
No. Many franchises provide comprehensive training and support, making them accessible even for those without prior business ownership or industry experience.
How much does it cost to own a franchise?
Costs vary widely. Some franchises start as low as $50K, while others require $500K+. We help you find options that fit your budget and financing options.
What if I am not ready at this time?
That’s okay. We’re here to provide information and guidance, whether you’re ready now or in the future. When the time is right, we’ll help you find the best opportunity.
How long does the franchise process take?
The timeline varies, but typically it takes 30 to 90 days to go from initial research to signing a franchise agreement. Factors like due diligence, financing, and territory availability can impact timing.
Can I finance a franchise?
Yes. Many franchise owners use SBA loans, retirement funds (ROBS), home equity, or franchise financing programs. We can connect you with financing experts to explore your options.
