Can a franchisor fill out the Cost of Doing Business Survey on behalf of their franchisees?
While franchisors can assist in data collection, each franchise location must submit its own survey response. Each location's unique financial data is essential for accurate benchmarks, and consolidated reports or averages do not capture the nuanced differences between locations. Independent participation guarantees that responses reflect each franchisee's individual operations and financial realities.
If your franchise has centralized accounting, the accounting team can assist each location in submitting their individual responses, ensuring accuracy while maintaining the required individual data entries.

What currency should I report all my financial information in?
