How do I find the right franchise opportunity in Florida?

Start from what you can invest, how involved you want to be and where you want to be, then look only at brands whose own disclosure documents fit those answers. BreakThru Realty’s franchise matching questionnaire does exactly that against participating brands, and introduces you to the ones you choose.

Does franchise matching cost anything?

No. Candidates pay BreakThru Realty nothing for matching or introductions. BreakThru is paid by participating franchisors, under a written agreement, when a candidate it introduced signs a franchise agreement, and if it later represents you in a lease or purchase, that role and its compensation are disclosed to you in writing first.

Can BreakThru Realty tell me how much a franchise will make?

No. BreakThru Realty makes no representation about the sales, income or profit of any franchise. If a franchisor makes financial performance representations, they are in Item 19 of its Franchise Disclosure Document, and that is the only place a candidate should read them. Current and former franchisees, listed in Item 20 of the same document, are the other people worth asking.

How long do I have to review a Franchise Disclosure Document?

Under the FTC Franchise Rule you must receive the franchisor’s disclosure document at least 14 calendar days before you sign a binding agreement with, or pay any money to, the franchisor or an affiliate. Use that time to have a franchise attorney and an accountant review it.

Can BreakThru Realty help me find a location for my franchise?

Yes. Once a franchisor awards you a franchise, BreakThru Realty can represent you in the site search, the lease or purchase negotiation and the delivery of the premises across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties, under a separate written agreement.

Nothing on this website is an offer to sell a franchise. A franchise is offered only through the franchisor’s current Franchise Disclosure Document, which a prospective franchisee must receive at least 14 calendar days before signing a binding agreement with, or paying any money to, the franchisor or an affiliate.

How Franchise Matching Works

The questionnaire on this page takes a few minutes. Your answers are compared against the candidate profiles participating franchisors publish, using the investment ranges in their own Franchise Disclosure Documents, and you see which participating brands fit. The broker then reviews your profile personally. When you choose a brand, BreakThru introduces you to that franchisor with your consent, and the franchisor takes it from there with its own disclosure and approval process. Matching costs you nothing.

What the Questionnaire Asks and Why

Each question maps to something a franchisor will ask you anyway, so answering it now saves weeks later and keeps you away from brands that would turn you down. Your answers go to the broker and, with your consent, to the franchisors you choose, and to no one else.

Liquid capital and net worth: franchisors publish minimums for both
Total investment you are comfortable with: compared to each brand’s Item 7 range
Industries you are drawn to, and any you want to avoid
Owner-operator, semi-absentee or investor: how many hours you will put in
Where in Florida you want a territory
One unit or several, now or over time
Your management, ownership and industry experience
When you want to sign and when you want to open

Participating Brands Only

The directory on this page lists only franchisors that have a written agreement with BreakThru Realty, a current Franchise Disclosure Document, and a Florida franchise exemption notice on file for the year. It is deliberately not a list of every franchise in the country. Every brand here has a franchisor who knows BreakThru is introducing candidates for Florida territories and will run a proper disclosure and approval process with you. BreakThru is paid by those franchisors when a candidate it introduced signs, and you pay nothing for matching.

What Each Brand Listing Shows

Each listing is built from the franchisor’s own disclosure document and approved by the franchisor in writing. It shows the industry, the initial franchise fee from Item 5 and the estimated initial investment range from Item 7, the franchisor’s stated capital and net worth requirements, the involvement it expects, whether it offers single or multi-unit agreements, the Florida areas it is awarding, and the issuance date of the disclosure document the figures come from. It says whether that document includes an Item 19, and nothing further about it.

What Happens After You Match

The franchisor contacts you, explains its process and delivers its Franchise Disclosure Document. You then have at least 14 calendar days to read it before you can sign anything or pay anything, and you should use them: have a franchise attorney review the disclosure document and the franchise agreement, have an accountant review the investment, and call the current and former franchisees the document lists in Item 20. The franchisor decides whether to award you a franchise. BreakThru stays in touch throughout and answers process questions, and never pressures you to sign.

Real Estate: Where BreakThru Stays With You

Once a franchisor awards you a franchise, the next question is where it goes. BreakThru Realty is a licensed Florida real estate brokerage, and it can represent you in finding the site, negotiating the lease or purchase, and getting the premises delivered, under a separate written agreement that discloses the franchise compensation it received for introducing you. You are free to choose other representation. If you want a second unit later, the process starts again from what the first one taught.

Buying an Existing Franchise Instead

A new franchise is one route; buying an existing franchised business is another. A resale comes with a trading location, staff and records, and also with the franchisor’s transfer approval, a transfer fee and the remaining term of the existing franchise agreement. BreakThru Realty’s business brokerage division lists franchise resales across South Florida, and the same franchise rules apply: the franchisor’s disclosure document, its approval and your own advisers.

Participating Franchise Brands

Only franchisors with a written agreement with BreakThru Realty, a current Franchise Disclosure Document and a current Florida franchise exemption notice appear in this directory. Every figure shown is the franchisor’s own, from that document.

How BreakThru Realty Works Within Franchise Law

Franchise seller status	BreakThru Realty acts as a franchise seller only for participating franchisors, only under a written agreement, and is named as a franchise seller on the receipt page (Item 23) of each participating franchisor’s Franchise Disclosure Document.
Disclosure timing	Nothing on this website is an offer to sell a franchise. A franchise is offered only through the franchisor’s current Franchise Disclosure Document, which a prospective franchisee must receive at least 14 calendar days before signing a binding agreement with, or paying any money to, the franchisor or an affiliate. The franchisor delivers the document. BreakThru never shortens that period, and never asks a candidate to sign or pay before it has run.
Earnings claims	BreakThru Realty makes no representation about the sales, income or profit of any franchise. If a franchisor makes financial performance representations, they are in Item 19 of its Franchise Disclosure Document, and that is the only place a candidate should read them.
Florida	Before BreakThru presents a brand, the franchisor confirms in writing that its annual franchise exemption notice under section 559.802, Florida Statutes, is filed with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and current. Florida’s Franchise Act, section 817.416, separately prohibits misrepresentation in the sale of a franchise.
Other states	BreakThru presents opportunities for Florida territories. A candidate who lives in, or wants a territory in, a state that registers franchise offerings or franchise sellers is referred to the franchisor directly.
Compensation	BreakThru Realty is paid by participating franchisors, under a written agreement, when a candidate it introduced signs a franchise agreement; candidates pay BreakThru nothing for matching. Where BreakThru also represents a franchisee in a lease or purchase, both roles and both sources of compensation are disclosed in writing before that engagement is signed, and the franchisee is free to choose other real estate representation.
Independent advice	Legal questions go to a franchise attorney, tax and structuring questions to an accountant, and financing questions to an SBA lender; every candidate should have the first two review the Franchise Disclosure Document and the franchise agreement before signing.
