187 SYSTEMS · FDD ITEM 5 · CROSS-CHECKED AGAINST SBA LOAN OUTCOMES
Which franchises offer multi-unit discounts?
Buying more than one unit is the discount ground franchisors honor most — more systems name a multi-unit or area-development break in Item 5 than any other reason, including the veteran discount the industry talks about constantly. These 187 systems put it in a federal disclosure; 26 also disclose the actual range of fees they collected.
The caution is built into the deal: a multi-unit discount is paid for with a development schedule — open unit two and three by fixed dates or lose exclusivity, fees, or the agreement. A discount into a system whose owners default above baseline is that mistake with a multiplier, which is why each row carries the brand's SBA charge-off rate where the cohort is big enough to publish.

Methodology & sourcing
A brand appears here when Item 5 of any of its state-registered FDD filings names a multi-unit, area-development, or development-agreement discount on the initial franchise fee. “Collected as low as” comes from the actual fee range the franchisor disclosed collecting in its prior fiscal year — printed only for arms-length disclosures, and the low end is not necessarily the multi-unit price; it is proof the fee moved. Charge-off rates come from SBA 7(a)/504 FOIA files, FY1991–present, published only where the resolved-loan cohort clears the site-wide floor.
Before signing any development agreement: the discount is certain, the schedule is a commitment, and unit one's performance is unknown. Negotiate the schedule (and what happens if you miss it) as hard as the fee. See the full fee-discount study and the site methodology.

A broker is paid by the franchisor to place you. I'm paid by you — and the job is pressure-testing the numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
