Terms and Conditions

Effective date: October 16, 2026

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of www.franchisevision.com (the “website”), operated by Fourth Wave Consulting, LLC, doing business as FranchiseVision (“FranchiseVision,” “we,” “us” or “our”). By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

Not a franchise offering

NOTHING ON THIS WEBSITE IS AN OFFER TO SELL A FRANCHISE. A FRANCHISE OFFERING CAN BE MADE ONLY BY A FRANCHISOR, IN A STATE OR PROVINCE WHERE IT IS REGISTERED, EXCLUDED, EXEMPT OR OTHERWISE QUALIFIED TO OFFER FRANCHISES, AND ONLY WHEN IT PROVIDES YOU WITH THE REQUIRED FRANCHISE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT. ANY FOLLOW-UP OR INDIVIDUALIZED RESPONSE TO YOU THAT INVOLVES EFFECTING OR ATTEMPTING TO EFFECT THE SALE OF A FRANCHISE WILL BE MADE ONLY IF THE FRANCHISOR COMPLIES WITH APPLICABLE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OR IS COVERED BY AN APPLICABLE EXCLUSION OR EXEMPTION.

General information, not advice

The content on this website, including our guides, articles, FAQ, videos and e-book, is general educational information about franchising. It is not financial, investment, legal, tax or accounting advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy any particular franchise. Before making any decision, review the franchisor’s Franchise Disclosure Document carefully and consult your own attorney, accountant and financial advisor.

No financial performance representations

FranchiseVision does not make financial performance representations about any franchise brand and does not prepare financial projections for any specific franchise. Under the Federal Trade Commission’s Franchise Rule, any financial performance representation must appear in Item 19 of the franchisor’s Franchise Disclosure Document. Any general discussion on this website of franchise categories, investment ranges or business models is for education only and is not a representation about the performance of any franchise.

How we are compensated

Our franchise consulting services are free to candidates. If you sign a franchise agreement with a franchisor we introduced you to, that franchisor pays a fee to us and the FranChoice network. Using our services does not increase the cost of your franchise. We are not a sales agent for any franchise brand, and we do not guarantee that any franchisor will offer you a franchise.

Our relationship with FranChoice

FranchiseVision is a member of the FranChoice network of franchise consultants under a contractual relationship. FranChoice is not responsible for the content of this website.

Owning a business involves risk, including the risk of losing your investment. You are solely responsible for your decision whether to buy a franchise and for your own due diligence. We do not guarantee any outcome, income or success.
