@apifyforge
Franchise due diligence research inside any MCP-compatible AI client — one tool call delivers franchisor health scores, complaint trajectories, market saturation analysis, corporate structure investigation, and investment verdicts drawn from 8 parallel data sources.
Overview
What is Franchise Due Diligence?
Franchise Due Diligence is an MCP server that automates franchise research by aggregating data from 8 parallel sources—including CFPB complaints, Trustpilot reviews, OpenCorporates corporate records, Google Maps, Federal Register, and BLS economic data—into proprietary scoring models and a composite investment verdict. It is built for franchise investors, multi‑unit operators, franchise attorneys, and consultants who need independent intelligence beyond the Franchise Disclosure Document.
How to use Franchise Due Diligence?
Add the server URL to your MCP client configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf) using the provided JSON block. Then call generate_investment_dossier with a franchise brand name (and optional territory) for a full structured dossier, or use individual tools like assess_market_saturation for targeted checks. Full dossiers complete in 90–120 seconds; individual tools return in 30–60 seconds.

FAQ from Franchise Due Diligence
What data sources does Franchise Due Diligence use?
It uses 8 parallel sources: Company Deep Research, CFPB Consumer Complaints, Trustpilot and multi‑platform reviews, OpenCorporates corporate registry, Google Maps location density, Federal Register regulatory filings, and BLS economic data.
How long does a full investment dossier take?
A full dossier completes in 90–120 seconds because all 8 data sources are queried simultaneously via Promise.allSettled. Individual tools (e.g., evaluate_franchisor) finish in 30–60 seconds.
What scoring model produces the investment verdict?
The composite weighs franchise health 30%, market saturation inverted 20%, regulatory compliance inverted 20%, and sentiment 30%. Override logic forces AVOID on failing health or critical regulatory classification.
Can I run individual tools instead of the full dossier?
Yes. You can call tools like evaluate_franchisor, analyze_complaint_trajectory, assess_market_saturation, investigate_corporate_structure, track_franchise_regulation, or benchmark_franchise_brand separately for targeted checks.
Does Franchise Due Diligence enforce spending limits?
Yes, every tool call enforces a configured spending limit. The server stops cleanly when the budget is reached and never silently overcharges.
