Success-aligned pricing
We win when you sign — not when you enroll.
Traditional brokers charge 40–50% of the initial franchise fee per closed deal; lead portals charge for form-fills that close around 2%. The Batch flips the model: a modest program fee covers the cohort itself, and the main economics are a success fee only on signed agreements — a fraction of broker rates.
That alignment is the point: every brand we take into a Batch is a brand we believe can sign. Selection is real — applications are reviewed, not sold.
Who it's for
Selection is the product.
A strong fit if you have
- A proven domestic model — multiple stores, positive unit economics
- Founder or C-level commitment to international expansion
- Willingness to document, verify and be scored
- A concept with a story that travels
Not yet a fit if
- The brand has a single store or under one year of operations
- You're exploring franchising itself for the first time — start with the Academy
- No capacity to support an international partner after signing
