How the exit count is computedfiscal 2025

0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 0 exits ÷ 22 at start = 0.0%

These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (5) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (1) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.

A broker is paid by the franchisor to place you. An independent CPA is paid by you — and the job is pressure-testing The Picklr's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
