Figures above are as disclosed in Regional Representative's most recent FDD (registered 2025). Source: California Dept. of Financial Protection and Innovation — Franchise Registration · filing app-32800. The risk level, the Item 19 figures, how it compares to peers, and the litigation & churn detail are in the full report.
Regional Representative franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Regional Representative does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for Regional Representative — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (many real estate franchisors do disclose), and the full report reads the risk signals Regional Representative's FDD does contain — fees, litigation, and outlet churn — against peers. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Real estate franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Regional Representative lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Regional Representative's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025) does disclose 8 legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Regional Representative itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. The full Regional Representative report lists each case with what it was about and how it ended, separates franchisee disputes from corporate and securities matters, and flags the ones a franchisee started — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for.
Regional Representative closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Regional Representative will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Regional Representative's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a real estate of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Regional Representative's latest tables show significant franchisee turnover. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Regional Representative's churn ranks against real estate peers, are in the full report.
