  • This site and its tools are informational only and are not investment, legal, tax, or financial advice.
  • The Franchise Transparency Score grades transparency and disclosed risk, not future earnings or profitability. It does not measure, project, or predict how much money any buyer will make.
  • Any earnings figures shown are the franchisor's own Item 19 disclosures, reported verbatim and attributed, never recomputed or projected by us.
  • No franchise outcome is guaranteed. Individual results vary by owner, market, effort, and many factors outside any disclosure.
  • Before buying any franchise, read the complete, current Franchise Disclosure Document and consult an independent franchise attorney and a qualified accountant.
  • The operator may receive referral compensation; see Compensation & Independence.

No representation about earnings

Nothing on this site is a financial performance representation. We make no statement, and imply no statement, about the level or range of actual or potential sales, income, or profit of any franchise. The only earnings information you may ever see from us is a franchisor's own Item 19 disclosure, quoted exactly and attributed to them.

No attorney-client or fiduciary relationship

Using this site or its tools, or requesting an evaluation, does not create an attorney-client, fiduciary, brokerage, or advisory relationship. A deeper evaluation from Mike Millett is an independent, buyer-side informational review; it does not replace, and is not a substitute for, your own legal and financial counsel.

Do your own due diligence

A high transparency grade is not a recommendation to buy, and a low grade is not a prohibition. The grade is one input. The decision, and the risk, are entirely yours. Verify everything against the actual FDD with professionals you retain.
