ZoomInfo knows Subway has 20,000 locations. It can't tell you who owns the 8 Subway restaurants in your target market. Franchise owners are local operators — their names are in FDD filings, state franchise registrations, and local business records, not corporate databases.

[02] Research
AI agents that find franchise owners,
not just franchise corporate offices.
The franchisee — the person who actually owns and operates the locations — is invisible in traditional databases. They're named in FDD filings, state franchise registrations, and local business entity records. Origami's AI agents search these sources in real time, surfacing operators, unit counts, brands, and expansion signals that traditional databases were never built to find.
[03] Capabilities
Find franchise operators ready to expand.
Qualified list in under 2 minutes.
FDD filings reveal the actual owner
Franchise Disclosure Documents list every franchisee by name, location, and unit count. Origami searches FDD filings and state franchise registrations to identify the actual operator behind each location — the decision-maker, not the corporate franchisor.
Multi-unit operators as high-value targets
A franchisee operating 12 locations has a fundamentally different budget and pain points than a single-unit owner. Origami identifies multi-unit operators by cross-referencing FDD filings and business entity records, so you can prioritize the operators with the most scale.
Development agreements as expansion signals
When a franchise owner signs a multi-unit development agreement, they're committed to opening new locations. Origami detects new development agreements and unit openings, surfacing operators who are actively investing in growth and need new vendors.
Brand diversification as a sophistication signal
Franchise operators who own locations across multiple brands — say, Domino's and Orangetheory — are typically the most sophisticated and well-capitalized. Origami identifies multi-brand operators by matching owner names across FDD filings for different franchise systems.
