According to the 2025 Focus Cfo Franchise Disclosure Document, Focus Cfo Group, LLC, the franchisor, states that it has no other business activities besides offering franchises. However, Focus CFO Holdings, LLC, which owns 99% of Focus CFO Group, LLC, and its affiliates, have been providing CFO services since September 2001. Additionally, The CFO Company, LLC, a 100% owned subsidiary of Focus CFO Holdings, LLC, owns 1% of Focus CFO Group, LLC and licenses the trademark THE CFO COMPANY® to Focus CFO Group, LLC, but it does not currently have any other business activities.

This means that while the specific entity offering the franchise, Focus CFO Group, LLC, is solely focused on franchising, its parent company, Focus CFO Holdings, LLC, is involved in providing CFO services. This is a common arrangement in franchising, where a holding company manages various business activities related to the brand. The CFO Company, LLC, another affiliate, primarily manages the trademark licensing.

For a prospective franchisee, this distinction is important. While Focus Cfo Group, LLC's sole focus is on supporting its franchisees, the broader Focus CFO organization has experience in providing the core services that franchisees will be marketing. This could provide a level of expertise and support that might not be available if the franchisor was a completely separate entity with no prior experience in the CFO services industry. It also highlights the importance of understanding the relationships between the franchisor and its affiliates, as these relationships can impact the resources and support available to franchisees.
