Illustrative product view
What Item 19 is
Item 19 of the Franchise Disclosure Document is the financial performance representation - the aggregated look at how existing units perform that prospective franchisees rely on. It has to be accurate, defensible, and careful not to identify any single location. Building it from real network data beats reconstructing it in a spreadsheet.
What Fintra produces
- Count of reporting units and total system revenue.
- Mean and median revenue, with revenue quartiles.
- Percentage of units at or above the mean.
- Median gross margin percentage, with a standard disclaimer.
Small-sample suppression
Statistics on a handful of units can inadvertently reveal an individual location’s numbers. Fintra suppresses the representation when fewer than a minimum number of units are reporting, which is both a privacy protection and a data-quality guardrail for a document prospective franchisees will act on.
Why grounded Item 19 data matters
Item 19 is one of the most scrutinized parts of the FDD, and getting it wrong carries real legal risk. Deriving it from the network’s actual ledgers - rather than hand-assembling figures - makes the representation more defensible and far less work to refresh each year.
Frequently asked questions
What is FDD Item 19?
Item 19 is the financial performance representation in a Franchise Disclosure Document - the aggregated data on how existing units perform that prospective franchisees use to evaluate the opportunity. It must be accurate, aggregated, and careful not to identify any individual location.
What does Fintra include in the Item 19 report?
An anonymized aggregate: the count of reporting units, total system revenue, mean and median revenue, revenue quartiles, the percentage of units at or above the mean, and a median gross margin percentage, along with a standard disclaimer.
How does Fintra protect individual franchisee privacy?
The report is aggregated and anonymized so no single location is identified, and it’s suppressed entirely when fewer than a minimum number of units are reporting. That prevents a small sample from inadvertently revealing an individual franchisee’s figures.
Why generate Item 19 from the ledger?
Because Item 19 is heavily scrutinized and carries legal risk, deriving it from the network’s real ledgers makes the representation more defensible and far easier to refresh than hand-assembling figures from separate reports each year.
