Does the franchisor have direct or independent electronic access to the franchisee's financial, sales or customer records?

How the franchisor buys
Is the franchisor or an affiliate itself a supplier of required products, services or systems?
YesItem 8
At this time only we and our affiliate are approved suppliers for some of these items.

We can charge suppliers a reasonable fee for the time and effort we take in reviewing items submitted to us for approval and for investigating and deciding whether to approve a proposed supplier or item.
Item 8 gives this proportion in one of two shapes: separate percentages for establishing the business and for operating it, or one figure covering "establishing and operating" together. Where they are separate, answer with the operating percentage; where the passage gives only the combined figure, answer with that. What percentage of the franchisee's purchases must come from designated or approved suppliers?
50Item 8
It is estimated that the items for which we provide specifications or require prior approval at this time, should amount to approximately 50% to 80% of your initial purchases in establishing your franchised office and should constitute a similar amount of your ongoing purchases and leases in operating the business.

The vendor opportunity at Celebration Title Group
Celebration Title Group operates 15 company-owned locations, all in the real estate title and settlement space. The system reported no franchised units in its 2023 FDD, which means the entire footprint is under direct corporate control. For a software vendor, this is a concentrated opportunity: one buying center, one set of operational standards, and a single integration surface. The royalty rate is 7.0%, and the initial franchise term is five years, though with no franchised units, that term structure applies only to any future franchisees.
The system does not disclose an average unit volume, so vendors cannot benchmark revenue-per-location from public filings. Year-over-year unit growth is also not disclosed. What is clear is that the 15 existing locations represent the total addressable market today. Expansion plans, if any, are not signaled in the FDD.
Who controls software purchasing
Because every unit is company-owned, software purchasing authority sits at the corporate level. The FDD lists Amanda C. Douglas as the agent for service of process, but no chief information officer, VP of technology, or procurement lead is named in Item 1. Vendors should expect a centralized decision process, likely involving operations leadership and the ownership group. The absence of a named technology executive means initial outreach may need to go through general corporate channels.
Mandated and current tech stack
The 2023 FDD mandates Softpro for title and settlement operations. Softpro is a well-known platform in the title industry, handling escrow, closing, and title production workflows. For vendors selling adjacent software—such as CRM, marketing automation, document management, or compliance tools—integration with Softpro is a practical requirement. No other mandated systems appear in the FDD, but that does not rule out additional tools in use at the operating level. Vendors should be prepared to discuss how their product complements or connects to a Softpro-centric environment.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly disclosed. Similarly, Item 17, which covers renewal, termination, and transfer, is absent from the available data. Without these signals, vendors cannot map contract cycles or anticipate renewal-driven buying windows. The five-year initial term provides a theoretical framework, but with no franchised units, it has limited practical application for timing a sales motion.
How to read the Celebration Title Group FDD
The 2023 FDD is the most current public disclosure for Celebration Title Group. It contains the franchisor’s audited financials, the franchise agreement, and the list of current and former franchisees—though in this case, the system reports no franchised outlets. For software vendors, the key sections are Item 11 (the franchisor’s obligations), which surfaces the Softpro mandate, and Item 1, which identifies the corporate entity and its principals. The embedded PDF viewer below provides the full document for your own due diligence.
