About Franchises Opportunity
A franchise directory for comparing FDD-derived investment data: fees, costs, and unit performance across 5,700+ US franchise brands, dated per figure.
What this site is
A place to see what a franchise really costs — before anyone gets your number. We profile 5,700+ US franchise brands from their disclosure filings; 4,700+ of them carry investment figures you can compare, each dated to its source. Where a brand doesn't disclose a figure, the cell says "Not disclosed" — we never fill a gap with a guess.
You can research every brand here without giving us your name, email, or phone number. If you do send a request, you pick the brands you want to learn about, and we may share that request with those brands and with franchise advisors who can follow up. We tell you plainly who may receive it, and you choose how they reach you.
What we won't do
- Publish earnings claims — our dataset has no earnings fields, so no page invents them.
- Hide who may follow up — before you send a request, we name the parties who may receive it (the brands you pick and franchise advisors who can help), so you choose with your eyes open.
- Let payment touch the numbers — cost data renders identically for paying and non-paying brands, and sponsored slots are labeled.
- Pretend completeness — missing data stays visibly missing, with the coverage stated per field.
Who runs this
Founded and operated by Julan Basnet — one person, independently. Franchises Opportunity is not owned by a franchisor, a broker network, or a lead-generation conglomerate, and no outside party edits the numbers.
What that name commits to is auditable: he operates the methodology published on how we check data & make money — every figure computed from disclosure filings, dated, and rendered "Not disclosed" where the filing is silent — so you can audit the work, not just the byline. The corrections channel reaches him directly, and a person replies within 2 business days.
How the site pays for itself
Franchise brands and our partner franchise advisors can pay us for qualified, consented leads that visitors choose to send. Public research pages stay separate from commercial terms, and payment does not change the cost data we publish. The full disclosure lives on how we check data & make money.
