Summary
Franchisees aren't your employees—they're your business partners. That pizza franchise owner down the street? They're carrying your brand, your reputation, and your future growth on their shoulders. Standard employee background checks are like bringing a butter knife to a gunfight when it comes to franchise vetting. You need deeper financial scrutiny, multi-jurisdictional legal review, and the kind of thorough investigation that reveals whether someone can actually run a business, not just show up to work.

What Makes Franchise Screening Different
Our franchise screening process averages around 5 - 6 days, significantly faster than traditional methods that can take 2-3 weeks. We've automated key processes and streamlined form collection to keep your development pipeline moving without compromising thoroughness. Because in franchise development, speed without accuracy is just expensive guessing.
Franchisees are business partners, not employees, which requires much deeper investigation. We examine financial capacity, business experience, multi-jurisdictional legal issues, and industry-specific licensing. Employee checks focus on criminal history and basic verification—franchise checks evaluate someone's ability to successfully operate and represent your brand long-term.
Absolutely. Our process includes comprehensive multi-state screening because franchise candidates often have complex histories across different jurisdictions. We track where they've lived, worked, and done business, ensuring nothing falls through geographic cracks. This is especially critical for multi-unit developers or candidates relocating for franchise opportunities.
