While researching the web for franchise information, we discovered that finding independent information on franchising was difficult. Inspired by the lack of objective data, we created this resource for your benefit. Here you will find information related to franchise contracts, agreements and other documents. We even include information on specific franchisors that you are interested in. We have indexed the site by company name, contract type and industry.

Who are the authors? The site was started by two classmates who attended the same Elementary, Junior High, High School and College in Los Angeles. As time progressed, their lives took them in different directions with one classmate moving to New York. The LA classmate took a trip to New York and the two met and discussed their ideas for a website. The New York classmate was working with a major franchisor and identified the opportunity. Together, they built FREEFranchiseDocs for the world to see. Go Gondos!

We participate in the Family Online Safety Insitute's ICRA labelling program. By declaring that our site is "child-safe", parents can be assured that the information that we provide is child-safe.

During the research portion of developing FREEFranchiseDocs, we evaluated various web hosts. We stumbled across one host, Site Build It (SBI), who offered more than the traditional hosting program. SBI, offers the flexibility of offering templated site tools or the ability to create your own custom xhtml. Since our team was relatively new to the technical side of web development, we were intrigued by their offerings and decided to code our own xhtml. In addition to offering hosting, SBI also includes a comprehensive suite of site development, promotion and tracking tools in their bundled price. Although at first we were skeptical about the offering, once we signed up, we were very pleased with the product. SBI allowed us to fast-track our development and provide a systematic approach to site development and search engine submittal / optimization.

Although SBI hosts the majority of our site, we ran into some limitations when it came to hosting our extensive pdf library. SBI allows for unlimited html pages, but has limits on image, video, and media files. We were able to circumvent this limitation by utilizing 1and1 to host our media files. 1and1 offers several affordable packages and also offers Private Registration Domains. Private Registration allows your contact information to be kept confidential from the publicly available whois databases.
