How much can I earn by owning a BurgerFi franchise?

As with any new investment opportunity, there needs to be a strong return on your investment and profit potential. The specific franchise owner's salary and the revenue from an BurgerFi business will depend on a variety of factors. One way to confirm the potential revenues or profits generated from a BurgerFi franchise investment is to analzye the franchisor's Item 19 within their FDD. This is called an earnings claim. This is not required within a franchisor's disclosure and approximately 68% of all franchise companies that we have reviewed will disclose financial performance data within Item 19 of their FDD. Some franchise companies may disclose limited information such as average gross revenues. This type of information is not always helpful to assess profits for you directly. So review average sales data with caution. As expected, typically earnings and owner's income are equitable to the overall size of the initial investment. The larger the initial investment, the larger return you could anticipate
