Brands disclosing Item 19 give you the strongest basis for projecting unit-level revenue.

Hawaii is a registration state. Verify the franchisor's registration with the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs before signing anything. An offer to sell a franchise in Hawaii without registration is itself a violation of state law and a major red flag.
