Questions brands, owners and investors ask

Who sees my brand name?

Only the members our desk connects you with, after you both agree. Everyone else sees a generic, name-withheld card. Investor details are never shown to other members.

What is free, and for how long?

Posting requirements, listing a property and matching are free forever for brands and property owners. Every feature, Brand OS included, is free until 31 December 2026. Paid plans start 1 January 2027.

What fees apply to a deal?

Introductions go through the FicoFoco desk; desk deals pay only on signing: lease 1 month's rent from landlord/developer (brands pay nothing on leases); capex 2% of project cost from brand; investors 4% up to ₹1 crore + 3% above; franchise sale 30% of franchise fee; pre-leased sale 1% from seller. +18% GST.

Does FicoFoco hold or pool investor money?

No. Deposits, fees and capex move directly between the parties under their own agreements. Each investor contracts for one outlet at a time. FicoFoco is a technology marketplace, not a fund.

Where do the yield figures come from?

They are projections computed from lease terms the owner disclosed: rent, escalation, lock-in and value. They are not assurances or investment advice. AI guidance only. Not SEBI-registered. Consult your financial advisor.
