Read a preview
The franchise disclosure document (FDD) arrives in a thick three-ring binder, glossy and professional. You’re told Item 19—the section on financial performance—is the crown jewel. The franchisor’s representative points to a line: “Average Net Profit: $97,000.” Your pulse quickens. You imagine your own name on that line. But what you’re actually looking at is a carefully constructed mirage, engineered to survive only until you sign the check. ## The 3% EBITDA Distortion Item 19’s “net profit” is rarely what you think.
