What's in the FDD database

Every entry includes the franchisor's legal name, industry, current registration status, effective and expiration dates, unit count, the original FDD in PDF, and the franchisee location list from Item 20 in Excel format.

FDD data covers all 23 items: initial fees (Item 5), estimated investment ranges (Item 7), territory terms (Item 12), litigation history (Item 3), outlet counts and turnover (Item 20), and financial performance representations (Item 19) where the franchisor discloses them.

Why an FDD database beats collecting documents one at a time

A single franchise disclosure document runs several hundred pages and answers questions about exactly one brand. Real analysis is comparative - how does this initial fee stack up against the four closest concepts, is this investment range typical for the category, is unit growth accelerating or is the outlet table hiding churn.

That work is impossible one PDF at a time. GetFDD holds 1,700+ brands in one index, mapped from the brand name you actually know to the legal entity that filed, so a comparison that would take weeks of document collection takes a search and a filter.

The location data is the harder half. Item 20 lists every current and former franchisee, but it lands as unstructured pages inside a PDF. Every location list in the database is already parsed, normalized, and exportable to Excel.

Who uses this FDD database

Franchise brokers and consultants comparing investment ranges and Item 19 disclosures across concepts. Franchisors running competitive intelligence on fee structures and territory terms. Suppliers, POS vendors, and lenders building prospect lists from franchisee location data. Private equity and M&A teams sizing unit economics before a deal.
