This page covers "franchise failure rates" with current FDD Item 19 financials across 188+ franchises. Methodology is the same as every FranchiseStack Dossier: investment range, royalty rate, AUV, unit growth, and franchisee satisfaction scores sourced directly from the franchisor's most recent FDD filing. Where multiple brands compete on the same question, we rank them on AUV-to-investment ratio, not marketing.
FranchiseStack's FDD Item 19 dataset across 188+ franchises shows investment, royalty, and AUV vary widely by category. Use the ROI calculator and franchise matcher to see the specific numbers for your budget and target market before you commit.
FranchiseStack's Deep Dive Report delivers FDD highlights, ROI snapshot, and territory basics for one franchise — under 5 minutes.
