New-franchisor index

Brands franchising since 2024

456 brands with an FDD on file began franchising in 2024 or later.

Limited operating history. A system this young has fewer than three years of Item 20 outlet history and rarely enough SBA loans for a charge-off rate, so its grade rests on less evidence than an established system's. Read its Item 20 tables and talk to its first franchisees before relying on the grade.

FDD '26

“Began franchising” is the year the franchisor states in Item 1 of its FDD; the lead executive is the first officer Item 2 names, and “signed, not yet open” is the Total row of Item 20 Table 5. Item 19 “figures on file” means the filing discloses an average or a partial set of outlet figures; “no representation” means the filing states it makes none. Gross sales are revenue, not profit. Nothing here is investment advice.
