Indiana buyers can evaluate 81 real estate franchise systems with FDDs on file, at a median initial investment of $50K–$206K and a typical franchise fee near $25K. Across the 12 brands that disclose unit revenue in Item 19, median annual revenue per location runs $297K — but 53% of the full set disclose Item 19 at all, so earnings claims still have to be verified brand by brand. 59 of them can be started for under $100K.

53% of the real estate franchises in our Indiana dataset disclose Item 19 financial performance representations. Among the 12 that report unit revenue, the median is $297K per location per year. The remainder rely on Item 1 (business background) and Item 7 (initial investment) without making earnings claims. Brands disclosing Item 19 give you the strongest basis for projecting unit-level revenue.
Indiana Deceptive Franchise Practices Act blocks discriminatory pricing/treatment and provides a private right of action. Right-to-work state with relatively low buildout costs favors retail and home-services franchises.
Indiana is a registration state. Verify the franchisor's registration with the Indiana Securities Division before signing anything. An offer to sell a franchise in Indiana without registration is itself a violation of state law and a major red flag.
