Upload your Franchise Disclosure Document. Get AI analysis of all 23 items, evidence-backed risk flags, financial breakdowns, and a chat assistant that answers your questions — with source citations you can verify.
No credit card required. Your first analysis is free.
A Franchise Disclosure Document is the single most important document in any franchise purchase — and the most neglected. It contains everything from litigation history to financial performance, but its complexity means most buyers skim it or skip it entirely. That's how costly surprises happen.
Upload your FDD and get a structured analysis of all 23 items in minutes. Every finding links back to the source text — so you're not trusting AI opinions, you're reading verified facts. Then ask follow-up questions in plain English and get cited answers instantly.
Purpose-built for franchise due diligence — not a generic AI document reader.
Our AI reads and structures every item in your Franchise Disclosure Document — from franchisor background to financial performance representations.
Every claim links directly to the source text in your FDD. Click any finding to see the exact quote. No hallucinations, no guesswork.
Ask questions in plain English — "What are the total startup costs?" or "Are there any litigation red flags?" — and get cited answers instantly.

No. FranVantage is a complement to legal counsel, not a substitute. It handles the initial analysis — extracting, structuring, and flagging potential issues across all 23 FDD items — so you and your attorney can focus on the strategic and legal implications. Many franchise attorneys use FranVantage themselves to accelerate their review process.
Every finding is evidence-backed: linked to the exact source text in your FDD. We don't generate opinions — we extract facts and flag patterns. Our system grades its own evidence quality (A–F) and skips sections where extraction confidence is too low, rather than guessing. You can click any finding to verify it against the original document.
Absolutely. Your documents are encrypted in transit and at rest. We never share your data with third parties, never use it to train AI models, and you can delete your documents at any time. Our infrastructure runs on enterprise-grade AWS services with SOC 2 compliant storage.
Upload any PDF — whether it's a digitally-created document or a scanned copy. Our OCR pipeline handles both. For best results, ensure the PDF is complete (all pages, all exhibits) and legible.
