What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focus Cfo's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 82 total outlets at the start of 2024. This number reflects the total of both Area President and CFO franchise locations.
Focus Cfo experienced a net decrease of 23 outlets during 2024, bringing the total number of outlets down to 59 by the end of the year. This decrease is notable and prospective franchisees should inquire about the reasons for this decline and what strategies Focus Cfo has in place to reverse this trend.
It is important to note that Focus Cfo has been transitioning CFO franchisees to a license agreement instead of a franchise agreement. This change may account for some of the decrease in franchise outlets. A potential franchisee should understand the differences between being a franchisee versus a licensee and how this shift might affect their business model and relationship with Focus Cfo.
