Welcome to Franchise Reality Check™
Franchising isn’t about buying a dream, it’s about understanding the deal you’re really signing.

I’m Genevieve McDaniel, former franchisee turned investigative writer and founder of Franchise Reality Check™. Here, we break down what franchisors don’t tell you: from hidden fees and misleading earnings claims to the fine print buried in Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs).

Each video pulls back the curtain on the franchise industry through:
🔍 Real franchise case studies
📄 FDD breakdowns made simple
💬 Expert interviews and franchisee stories
⚖️ Insights on due diligence, red flags, and how to protect your investment

Whether you’re exploring your first franchise or already own one, this channel helps you see beyond the brochure and make decisions based on facts, not promises.

🕵️‍♀️ No hype. No sales pitch. Just reality.
