What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focus Cfo's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the start of 2024, there were 82 franchised outlets. This number reflects the total number of franchise locations operating under the Focus Cfo brand as of January 1, 2024.
It is important to note the trend in outlet numbers. During 2023, the number of franchised outlets decreased from 126 to 82, a net change of -44. This decrease continued into 2024, with outlet numbers decreasing from 82 to 59, representing a net change of -23. These figures suggest a contraction in the number of Focus Cfo franchised locations during this period.
A prospective franchisee should investigate the reasons behind this trend. Understanding why 43 CFOs terminated their Franchise Agreements in 2023 and another 29 in 2024 to sign new License Agreements could provide valuable insight into the health and direction of the Focus Cfo franchise system. This information can help potential franchisees assess the risks and opportunities associated with investing in a Focus Cfo franchise.
