How we count: 4,325 brands published — 3,070 with an FDD on file (these carry a grade) and 1,255 with SBA lending data only (no grade). 3,024 distinct FDD filings; 143,527 SBA loan records. Counts as of 2026-09-30.
All data sourced from public FDD filings + SBA 7(a)/504 FOIA records. FranchiseVerdict takes no franchisor money; revenue comes from paid-for data products only. Counts as of 2026-09-30; see methodology for what each one counts.
Why FranchiseVerdict is different
Most franchise sites help franchisors collect leads. FranchiseVerdict helps buyers do diligence. We use public FDD filings, SBA loan records, and owner-contact disclosures so you can compare costs, revenue disclosures, risk signals, fees, and current and former franchisee contacts before you commit — with no franchisor paying for placement.
