How it works

Three steps. Honest math. No hype.

From first conversation to signed agreement, CFEG works inside the provincial disclosure framework — and the common-law duties of the provinces without one.

  1. Step 01

    Intake

    Submit the 8-field free-match form (capital range, timeline, province, vertical interest). Or the 4-field resale inquiry. CASL-compliant consent required.

  2. Step 02

    Advisor review

    An independent advisor reviews your profile against the franchise-law framework in your province. We surface 3–5 brands that fit — or, on the resale side, 1–3 listings that match.

  3. Step 03

    FDD + decide

    You review the FDD with counsel (we recommend qualified franchise lawyers). The 14-day cooling-off period starts at signing. No obligation to proceed with any option we surface.

The four agreement traps we surface before you sign

  • 01.FDD re-signing after material change.The cooling-off clock doesn't restart. (Ontario Arthur Wishart Act s.5.)
  • 02.Territory encroachment."Exclusive" in marketing vs "area of primary responsibility" in the contract.
  • 03.Renewal discretion.Discretionary renewal criteria can void renewal options.
  • 04.Misclassification risk.Some franchisors mislabel franchisees as independent contractors to skip FDD disclosure.
