Tools
Free, instant tools for the questions every wellness franchise decision turns on: what it costs to open, how royalties are structured, when you break even, whether a deal pays back, whether labor and rent fit your model, and which markets are worth scouting in the first place. Each one shows its formula, runs in your browser, and lets you email yourself a copy. They are planning aids, not a substitute for a brand's FDD or your own advisors.
