Disclosure

WellnessFranchiseHQ is owned and operated by the team behind LynkPilot (lynkpilot.com), franchise-management software for wellness brands, and is powered by OpusBC.io. We publish this disclosure so the relationship between this site, LynkPilot, and the vendors we list is never a surprise. Our goal is simple: tell you exactly where our interests lie so you can weigh our content accordingly.

How this site is funded

WellnessFranchiseHQ is funded by the company that builds LynkPilot. We do not run display advertising, and we do not charge vendors to be listed in the directory. Our only commercial interest is LynkPilot, and we tell you when it is relevant rather than hiding it inside "neutral" coverage.

Editorial independence

Our guides and tools are written to be genuinely useful whether or not you ever become a LynkPilot customer. We do not publish thin content designed only to rank in search engines or disguise sales pages as neutral articles.

When we mention LynkPilot

We recommend LynkPilot only where franchise operations software is the honest answer, typically in guides about royalties, P&L reporting, multi-location ops, or site selection analytics. We limit LynkPilot mentions to one per guide.

Directory listings and vendor inclusion

Vendor listings are informational. LynkPilot appears in the Franchise Operations Software category because it is our product, and we label it as our pick where it is shown. Other vendors are included based on industry relevance, not payment. Where we have not independently confirmed a vendor's details, the listing is marked as unverified. Inclusion is not an endorsement, and exclusion is not a judgment — the directory is a starting point for your own diligence, not a ranking.

Affiliate relationships and material connections

In line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and material connections, we disclose any relationship that could affect how you weigh our content. As of the date above, we do not earn affiliate commissions from directory vendors or external links, and listings are not paid placements. The one material connection you should know about is LynkPilot, which we own and operate. If we introduce affiliate links, referral fees, or sponsored placements in the future, we will update this page and clearly label the affected content and links.

Sponsored content and advertising

We do not currently publish sponsored posts, paid reviews, or advertising. Should that change, any sponsored or paid content will be clearly marked as such so you can tell it apart from our editorial work.

Third-party trademarks

Brand names, logos, and trademarks mentioned on the Site belong to their respective owners. Their use here is for identification and commentary only and does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by those owners, unless we state otherwise.

Estimates and advice

Calculators, cost ranges, and templates produce planning estimates, not guarantees. Nothing on this site is legal, financial, tax, or franchise investment advice. Verify every decision with qualified professionals and the brand's official disclosure documents.

Changes to this disclosure

We may update this disclosure as our business, partnerships, or directory evolve. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date above.
