Ideal Automotive Broker Franchising, LLC (Broker) franchise profit — what the FDD discloses

Plainly: Ideal Automotive Broker Franchising, LLC (Broker) does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for Ideal Automotive Broker Franchising, LLC (Broker) — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (49% of automotive franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Ideal Automotive Broker Franchising, LLC (Broker)'s FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Automotive franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.

Ideal Automotive Broker Franchising, LLC (Broker) lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Ideal Automotive Broker Franchising, LLC (Broker)'s most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.

Ideal Automotive Broker Franchising, LLC (Broker) closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Ideal Automotive Broker Franchising, LLC (Broker) will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Ideal Automotive Broker Franchising, LLC (Broker)'s most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a automotive of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Ideal Automotive Broker Franchising, LLC (Broker)'s latest tables show a growing franchised network. Net franchised outlets moved +1 to 1 in the latest reported year.
