Editorial policy

Official sources first

Brand guides link to the official local franchise, corporate or regulatory pages used in the research. Each guide carries a publication date and source-check date. These dates describe our work; they do not guarantee that a brand’s offer will remain unchanged.

Local facts and clear unknowns

We distinguish countries, currencies, business formats and application models. We separate investment estimates, franchise fees and applicant financial thresholds. Where a price or individual application route is not publicly confirmed in the reviewed sources, we say so.

No invented performance claims

We do not fill missing information with estimated profits, guaranteed payback periods or unsupported rankings. Our opening-budget calculator uses explicitly illustrative inputs and performs simple arithmetic. It is not a valuation or a forecast.

Research and production

We use editorial software and AI assistance to support research, drafting and site production. We do not represent generated text as an interview, personal ownership experience or independent professional review. Readers should follow the cited sources and confirm material facts for their own transaction.

Corrections

Corrections should identify the article, disputed statement and a reliable source. When a material correction is made, the article’s revision date will be updated. See contact and corrections.

Advertising

Advertising, when activated, will be labelled and visually separate from editorial content. Sponsored material and affiliate relationships, if introduced, will be disclosed on the relevant page. Payment does not establish that a franchise is suitable for a reader or guarantee favourable editorial treatment.
