You sell into franchising. The answers are in the FDDs — but they're buried across hundreds of pages, brand by brand, in a format you can't use.
ClearlyData transforms franchise disclosure documents into structured intelligence — helping suppliers identify the right prospects, understand their business, and do their customer homework before making the call.

The franchisor collects and spends it. Sell to HQ once and reach every opening in the system.
Each franchisee spends it directly. The opportunity is local — and it repeats with every new unit.
Some brands mandate the spend but place it locally — a hybrid of the two models.
