Estimates, not promises

Startup costs and forecasts are shown as ranges from the sources we cite. Forecasts start from conservative assumptions you can change. None of them is a prediction or a promise of what you will earn.

We are not a franchise

The Open Franchise is an independent publisher. We don't sell franchises, and buying a kit doesn't make you part of a franchise system.

Brands we mention

We compare costs with franchise brands using their public disclosure documents. We aren't affiliated with, endorsed by, or paid by any of them. Their names and trademarks belong to their owners.
