fran.ai

The lab

We built the rails before the brands.

A marketplace across 35+ markets, an exchange across 40+, a franchise AI tool library and the industry's paper of record. Every venture we take on is plugged into all of it on day one.

Discover

Where franchise buyers already look

FRANWORLD inverts the defaults. Leads are never resold. Pricing is published on the page. Every data point carries a label — verified, brand-supplied, or estimated — so a reader knows what they are looking at before they act on it.

Operate

The analysis that used to need an advisory team

franbase turns each of those jobs into a tool you run yourself, priced per run. One hub across the whole lifecycle, so the work compounds instead of restarting with every new advisor.

Exit

A way out for your franchisees, from day one

FranX Asia is the first exchange in Asia for operating store resales, new franchise listings and territory rights. Valuation is a free tool, not a gated service. Transfer approval runs as one checklist across seller, buyer and franchisor.

FranX.vnfranx.vn · launching

FranX.vn is the Vietnam-native exchange for store and branch transfers, built for the market where franlab opens its own first store.

Attention

A publication the industry already reads

FranPulse is the paper of record for AI in franchising. It scores adoption across the largest systems on a published benchmark, and it runs every notable vendor claim through a documented check before filing it.

Other incubators rent their unfair advantage. We own ours.

Corporate-partner programs give founders access to someone else's distribution, on someone else's terms, for as long as the partnership lasts. This stack is ours. It does not expire when a sponsorship ends.

Send it when
it is ready.

We read applications all year round. There is no batch to wait for and no deadline to miss.

Applications open year-round

You cannot open physical stores in batches. Every unit needs its own lease, build-out and team — so we take ventures on one at a time, and start each one when it is ready.

We answer every submission ourselves, usually inside two weeks.
