Financial Performance Representation (FPR)
What is Financial Performance Representation (FPR) in franchising?
Any claim a franchisor makes about the actual or potential revenue, costs, or profits of its franchise units. If a franchisor provides an FPR, it must appear in Item 19 of the FDD. Nowhere else, not even verbally. About 66 percent of franchisors now include some level of FPR data, but the scope varies widely: some report system-wide averages, others show only top-performing locations. If a franchisor does not include an FPR, they are legally prohibited from telling you how much you might earn.
