Save a search for the brands and markets you work. When a matching franchise resale is listed, FranSonar pings you with the asking price, SDE, implied multiple, and the franchisor's Item 19 and Item 20 numbers attached. You stop refreshing broker boards and just take the call.
Built for franchise brokers, consultants and multi-unit operators. No spam: one email when we launch, one when your spot opens. Unsubscribe anytime.
System avg unit revenue $680K (Item 19, 2025 FDD) · 412 units · 11 closures in 3 yrs (Item 20) · ✓ under your 2.5x ceiling
Why it matters: stated revenue of $466K is about 30% under the system average. That's either a turnaround for an operator or leverage on price, and worth a call today rather than next week.
Matched monitor: “Pizza · Miami metro · 50 mi · $100K–$600K · max 2.5x” · Multiple = asking ÷ SDE
Product previewDemo, sample data
FDD filings come from state registries (Minnesota, California, Wisconsin, Indiana). Because an FDD covers a brand's units in all 50 states, a few registries cover most of the market. Bankruptcy filings come from federal court dockets via CourtListener. Listings come from public broker resale boards. FranSonar dedupes them, matches each listing to its franchisor, and does the math.
Create monitors for anything: a single franchisor nationwide, every QSR resale inside 50 miles, or any operator that files Chapter 11 in your state. Set your brand, market, price and unit range. FranSonar only surfaces what matches.
Set brand, market, price and radius once. FranSonar re-checks every source on a schedule (daily, every 4 hours, or hourly, depending on plan) and only new matches become pings.
Email and SMS on every plan. Slack and a CRM webhook on Broker and Desk, so pings can land in any CRM that accepts webhooks.
Dedupes the same unit across boards, drops junk, and flags listings whose stated revenue is far off the system average.
We match the listing to the franchisor's latest FDD and pull Item 19 performance and Item 20 unit history. The implied multiple and the system's health are attached before you pick up the phone.
FDD enrichment (Item 19 and 20) and distress signals come with the Broker and Desk plans. Scout pings include the listing and the implied multiple.
Set it up once. FranSonar watches the sources and pings you when a unit worth chasing appears.
Pick a brand, market, price and unit range. Save it once.
Every source is checked on a schedule and diffed against the last sweep.
New listings are deduped across boards and matched to the franchisor's FDD, so the multiple and unit history come attached.
Email, SMS, Slack, or your CRM. Open the listing and make the call.
