FRANdata is the nation's leading supplier of information on the U.S. franchise industry. Utilizing more than 10,000 Uniform Franchise Offering Circulars (UFOCs), and our proprietary software, FRANdata compiles, analyzes and synthesizes critical information required by the franchise community. Whatever your goal -- whether understanding trends, discovering emerging sectors, analyzing investment opportunities, reviewing risk/loss statistics, or implementing marketing campaigns -- FRANdata designs value-added products to meet your franchise information needs. Established in 1989, FRANdata was acquired by NCB Franchise Services, a subsidiary of National Cooperative Bank (NCB) in 2001. With more than two decades experience serving retailers through the cooperative model, NCB sees the addition of FRANdata as a natural extension of its commitment to the small business community. NCB has long recognized that information is a key ingredient to enhancing the strength of small businesses nationwide.
