What is  ?

We review FDD’s and provide a "FranchiseReview" certification to assure the legitimacy of the franchise. We review all 23 components of the FDD to assure compliance with FDD standards.

Who is ?

Our FranchiseReview certification process is carried out by experienced franchising professionals who thoroughly examine each franchise disclosure document. After confirmation, only legitimate franchises are certified with an FranchiseReview certification.

The certification seal can be found on a franchisor’s AskMrFranchise.com web page. Users can utilize an FranchiseReview certification while researching business or franchise opportunities, to assure their legitimacy.
