The problem

Franchise finance gets complicated fast.

Growth multiplies the work across entities, units, royalties, and audits.

Franchisee visibility breaks down

AUVs, same-store sales, royalties, and fees stop rolling up cleanly as units grow.

Multi-entity close gets messy

Close, payroll, vendors, and unit-level P&L drift out of sync across entities and locations.

FDD and audit deadlines pile up

Item 19, FDD updates, audits, and lender requests need reporting that holds up under review.
