Franchise research tools
Tools that answer a real question with computed numbers — free, ungated, and run on your device. We list a tool here only after it works; nothing on this page is a mockup or a "coming soon" teaser.

Franchise cost & affordability calculator
Answers "what franchise can I actually afford?" Three numbers in, your investment ceiling and matching brands out — with or without an SBA-style financing assumption. The result renders on your device before any contact info; the email field afterward is optional.
Compare franchises side by side
Put 2–3 brands in one table — fees, all-in investment, royalties, and unit track record, with every gap marked "Not disclosed." No score, no ranking: the table is the comparison, and the judgment stays yours.
Not a tool, still useful
- Franchises by investment band — computed counts and medians per budget band.
- The full brand directory — filter by cost band, industry, and SBA eligibility.
- How we source and date every number — the methodology behind the figures these tools use.
