One of the leading causes of franchisee failures is undercapitalized franchisees. Being able to more accurately predict the financial requirements of a franchise investment and compare the results to available investment capital can lower the risk of being undercapitalized.
This data is useful to construct cash flow analysis, pro forma financial statements, targeted ROI and to calculate debt payments for franchise investments.
