Things to check before you sign (1)
- No Franchise Disclosure Document is on file here, so none of the contract, fee or unit checks can be made. Get the current FDD from the franchisor before anything else.
Checked and clear: SBA charge-off rate 10.5%, below the 17.6% category median. Not on file here, so ask: going-concern doubt, unit trend and pending litigation.
What to do next
Step 1: Read the FDD itself.
Free: the franchisor must give it to you at least 14 days before you sign or pay. Or look it up in a state registry (Wisconsin, Minnesota, California). What to read first.
Step 2: Talk to current and former owners.
Free: Item 20 of the FDD lists every current owner and those who left last year, most with a phone number. Questions to ask.
Step 3: Talk to an SBA lender.
Free: the SBA's Lender Match, or the lenders already lending to this brand in the SBA section. Ask what you would personally guarantee and what the monthly payment would be. If you plan to use retirement savings, ask a CPA about the rules for that first.
Step 4: Have a franchise attorney review the FDD and agreement.
Free: your state bar's lawyer referral service can name franchise lawyers, and many offer a short first consultation. Bring the checks listed above.
Research steps, not investment or legal advice.

Risk and legal
What are you signing up for?
No FDD is on file for this brand, so its contract terms (term, renewal, territory, training) are not available here. The franchisor's FDD sets them out in Items 11, 12 and 17.
Franchisee contacts
No FDD is on file for this brand, so there is no Item 20 owner list here. Ask the franchisor for its current FDD: Item 20 lists the current and former owners.
Frequently asked questions
What do Reis & Irvy's franchise owners earn?
No average owner earnings figure for Reis & Irvy's is on file. Item 19, where a franchisor may disclose what its outlets earn, is voluntary under the FTC Franchise Rule, and we have not established what this brand's FDD says. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
What is Item 19 in the Reis & Irvy's FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets. Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. No Reis & Irvy's FDD is on file here, so this page holds no Item 19 figures; the page is built from SBA loan records.
What is Reis & Irvy's' franchise failure rate?
There is no published franchise failure rate. What is measurable is Reis & Irvy's' SBA charge-off rate: 10.5% on 19 resolved loans. Put plainly: 1 in 10 SBA 7(a) loans to Reis & Irvy's owners charged off (2 of 19 resolved loans, approved since FY1991); loans approved FY2018–FY2019: 2 of 18 resolved loans charged off (11.1%); newer loans have not had time to default, so this is not a trend. The SBA charge-off rate is the share of a brand's resolved SBA 7(a) loans to its franchisees that the SBA wrote off, including purchased guarantees. Resolved means paid in full or charged off; active loans are excluded because their outcome is not yet known. It is a lending outcome, not a count of closed businesses. A franchisee can repay and close, or default and keep trading.
