How does this quiz pick brands?

It filters the brands we have reviewed to those whose midpoint initial investment fits your stated capital and matches your chosen category, then ranks them on the single measure you said matters most. Every figure comes from the brand's Franchise Disclosure Document, with the FDD year shown on each result.

Do brands pay to appear in the results?

No. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or compensated by any brand listed, and there is no paid placement anywhere in the ranking. See our disclosure policy.

Why does a brand show as a stretch rather than a match?

Because its midpoint investment sits above your budget even though its lowest disclosed figure sits below it. The low end of an Item 7 range assumes the optimistic scenario — second-generation space, a modest build, favourable terms. Planning at the low end is how buyers end up undercapitalised.

Is the shortlist a recommendation?

No. It tells you which brands are financially reachable and how they compare on disclosed numbers. It knows nothing about territory availability near you, local competition, whether you can recruit licensed staff, or whether you would enjoy running the concept — and those decide more outcomes than brand choice.

Which Wellness Franchise Fits Your Budget?

Three questions, then a ranked shortlist drawn from the 11 brands we have reviewed. Every ranking uses figures disclosed in a Franchise Disclosure Document — there is no personality scoring and no brand pays to appear here.

Three questions

How much capital can you put in?

All-in, including build-out and working capital — not just the franchise fee.

Which kind of concept?

Categories differ more in labour model than in cost.

What matters most to you?

This decides how the shortlist is ranked.

Your shortlist

Answer the three questions and we'll rank the 11 brands we have reviewed against your constraints, using only figures disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Documents.

What this can and cannot tell you

It can tell you which brands are financially reachable at your capital level, how much their locations disclose earning, how efficiently they turn build-out into revenue, and how widely outcomes vary between their best and worst units. Those are the four things an FDD actually lets you compare across brands.

It cannot tell you whether a territory is open near you, how saturated your trade area already is, whether you can recruit the licensed staff the concept needs, or whether you will enjoy the work. Those decide more outcomes than brand choice does — which is why the shortlist is a starting point for diligence, not a recommendation.

Two brands we have reviewed publish no usable revenue figure, so they cannot be ranked on revenue or capital efficiency and will fall to the bottom of those orderings. That is an absence of data, not evidence of poor performance — franchisors are not required to make a financial performance representation.

Most franchise matching quizzes ask about your personality and return the brands that pay for placement. This one asks three questions that map to figures a franchisor is legally required to disclose — how much capital you have, which category you want, and what you are optimising for — and ranks our reviewed brands on that basis alone.

The ranking changes substantially depending on what you value, which is the point. The cheapest brand to open is not the one earning most; the highest-revenue brand is not the most capital-efficient; and the brand with the strongest average may have the widest gap between its good and bad locations. Running the quiz twice with different priorities is more instructive than any single result.

No brand pays to appear, and brands that publish no usable revenue figure fall to the bottom of revenue-based rankings because they cannot be scored — not because they perform badly.

How the ranking works

Brands are filtered to those whose Item 7 midpoint sits inside your capital, then ranked by your chosen priority: lowest Item 7 low end, highest disclosed average gross sales, highest average ÷ midpoint investment, or narrowest top-to-bottom quartile ratio. Brands lacking the relevant disclosure are listed last rather than scored as zero.
