AI that reads Franchise Disclosure Documents and helps you find the brands that truly fit.
Tell us who you are
Create a profile with your budget, preferred location, sectors of interest, and how hands-on you want to be. You can change these any time — they simply help ChainAI surface brands that fit where you want to go.
ChainAI reads the FDDs for you
Advanced AI reads and structures key sections of each FDD — fees, investment ranges, unit economics (when disclosed), and multi-year changes. Thousands of pages become clean, comparable data without you reading every line. If you have an FDD we do not yet cover, you can add it and we will run it through the same pipeline to improve the dataset for you and others.
