What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focus Cfo's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 126 total outlets at the start of 2023. These figures include both franchised and company-owned outlets. None of the Focus CFO outlets were company-owned.
It is important to note the distinction between Area President and CFO franchises, as Focus CFO transitioned CFO franchisees to a license agreement model during 2023 and 2024. This change may impact the support and obligations associated with operating a Focus CFO business, as the franchise agreements were terminated and replaced with license agreements for CFOs.
Prospective franchisees should carefully evaluate the implications of this shift from franchise to license agreements, particularly regarding the level of control, support, and brand standards enforced by Focus CFO. Understanding the reasons behind this change and its potential impact on the business model is crucial for making an informed investment decision.
