Why the entry price is not the cost

The whole cost picture before the point of no return.

What the advertised number leaves out

  • You are weighing a commitment you cannot unwind, with no full cost picture.
  • The advertised investment leaves out months of working capital.
  • The advertised number is the entry price, not the royalty and ad fund owed every month after.

How Threshby handles a number

Every figure names its filing
A number appears only with the franchisor's own FDD, the Item it was read from, and that filing's issue date beside it.
No aggregators, no model estimates
Threshby reads the disclosure document itself. Nothing here is scraped from a directory or generated as an approximation.
Missing reads as missing
A brand with no usable current filing shows a not-available state. It never shows a plausible number in place of one Threshby does not have.

When there is no filing

This is the table. The numbers arrive with the filing.

Empty on purpose. Threshby prints a figure only when it can name the filing the figure came from.

What Threshby will not do

  • It never introduces you to a franchisorThreshby does not pass your details to any brand it covers, and no brand can pay to appear here.
  • It never brokers and never refersNo fee depends on whether you buy a franchise, so nothing on this page has a reason to talk you into one.
  • It covers US filings onlyThe Franchise Disclosure Document is a US filing regime, so a brand outside it has no Item 7 to report.
