WHY FRANCHISE BROKERS USE THIS

From First Call to Commission Lock

Stop spending 20+ hours on candidates who can't close. Know buying power in 47 seconds, then spend your time on the ones who can.

01 / BUYING POWER EXPANSION
Show the Real Number
Candidates walk in thinking they have $50K cash. Your report shows them $50K cash + $75K unsecured LOC + $50K SBA Express + $25K equipment = $200K total buying power. You just tripled your inventory.
  • Cash + all fundable products stacked
  • Per-product approval probability
  • Monthly debt service calculation
  • Shareable link — candidate forwards to spouse or accountant
02 / CCQ AUTO-GENERATOR
Lock Your Commission Faster
The CCQ is what legally secures your $15K–$25K commission. We auto-populate 90% of it from the candidate's scoring session — liquid capital, net worth, tier, funding range, timeline, industry preference. One click, done.
  • Maps directly to standard CCQ template
  • Your name and logo on the document
  • Timestamped for commission lock proof
  • PDF download or email to franchisor
03 / FRANCHISE FIT INDEX
Match Candidate to Franchise
A 100-point scoring model that matches the candidate's financial profile, operational preferences, and geography to franchise opportunities — flagging best fits, marginal fits, and deals to avoid before you invest your time.
  • Financial alignment (investment range, DSCR, cash flow)
  • Operational fit (time commitment, skills, management style)
  • Geographic compatibility + territory availability
  • Semi-absentee and low-liquid buyer modifiers
04 / CANDIDATE ROADMAP
Turn "Not Yet" Into Pipeline
Candidates who don't qualify today don't disappear. They get a personalized 30/60/90-day action plan with specific credit and financial steps, projected score improvement, and an automated re-engagement trigger when they're ready.
  • Prioritized action items with score impact
  • 30/60/90-day timeline with milestones
  • Automated re-score notification
  • Partner alert when candidate improves to Tier B+
05 / CANDIDATE PIPELINE
Your Dashboard, Your Leads
Every candidate who runs through your branded portal lands in your pipeline view — with their score, tier, buying power, and status. No spreadsheets, no manual tracking, no lost leads.
  • Real-time candidate scoring activity
  • Tier and buying power at a glance
  • HubSpot CRM push (auto deal + contact)
  • Sub-link tracking per rep
06 / BRANDED PORTAL
Your Name, Our Engine
Your candidates see your logo, your colors, your domain. FUNDINGGAUG≡™ is in the background adding credibility — not replacing your brand. Every report is co-branded: your name first, "Powered by FUNDINGGAUG≡™" below.
  • Co-branded intake portal and reports
  • Custom candidate link (yourname.fundinggauge.com)

COMMON QUESTIONS

Franchise-Specific FAQ

Answers tailored to the franchise broker workflow.

Does the CCQ output work with my franchisor network's specific template?+

We map to the standard FDD/CCQ template used by most IFPG, FranNet, and FranChoice franchisors. If your network uses a custom format, we configure the field mapping during setup (included in Broker Edition). Enterprise/Network Edition supports fully custom CCQ templates per franchisor relationship.

Does the buying power score replace a real credit pull?+

No — and that is by design. The fundability score and buying power analysis are based on self-reported inputs and give you a fast preliminary read before investing 20+ hours per candidate. Credit-service integrations can be activated after vendor verification; current pilot reports should be treated as readiness estimates pending underwriting.

Can I use this at a franchise expo or discovery day?+

Yes — and it deploys beautifully. Your branded portal works on any tablet or laptop without installation. For larger events (50+ attendees), consider the Event Edition which adds exhibitor matching, kiosk mode, and batch lead export. See the Live Events page for event-specific pricing.

What happens to candidates who don't qualify today?+

They get a Candidate Readiness Roadmap — a personalized action plan with specific financial steps, projected score improvement at 30/60/90 days, and an automated re-engagement trigger. You are notified when that candidate improves to a qualifying tier. Most competitors let these leads go cold. You stay engaged for months without manual effort.
