FACTS was developed for our own companies.  As it evolved, it took on a life of its own and can be adapted to all industries.  We decided to share FACTS by providing it as a service to other franchisors.  We believe that every franchise system that cannot afford to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop a similar program can benefit from the low monthly fee.

Every franchise system needs the benefits and detailed information available to manage compliance, reduce costs and increase revenue for the franchisor and franchisee alike.  Imagine running an efficient business where you have all your metrics and the franchisees metrics at your finger tips each month. A report that tells the support person and franchisee immediately what they have to target or change so the franchisee stays on track to meet their personal income goal projections at any point in the next three years.  Franchisees taking ownership of their success or failure instead of blaming you and/or your system because they have the ability to identify and correct a potential problem before it becomes a liability to their success. The peace of mind that comes from the knowledge you are consistent with compliance and have reduced your risk of litigation. Pinch me, I must be dreaming!  No more dreaming, it is FACTS.
