What is Kariant Xtended?
Kariant Xtended is a structured business-opportunity marketplace. Franchise is the current category; additional categories are coming soon. Users discover and compare opportunities while approved partners manage their listings and inquiries.
Xtended addresses and search resultslink
The new public address is xtended.kariant.app, with franchise listings under /franchises and the Xtended partner portal under /partner. The host migration is staged; existing franchise.kariant.app links are retained while destinations are verified. This does not rename your Kariant account or create another KashFlow account.
The Domain selector takes you to Franchises or to previews for Distributorships & Dealerships (/dealerships), Contract Manufacturing (/contract-manufacturing), Licensing (/licensing), Channel & Ecosystem Partnerships (/channel-partnerships), Concessions & Operator Rights (/operator-opportunities), Joint Ventures & Strategic Expansion (/joint-ventures), and Institutional Partnerships (/institutional-partnerships). Franchise discovery is the current live category. Each other page has its own seeker waitlist; joining records interest in that category and queues a one-time request receipt, but does not verify the email address, grant access, reserve an opportunity, authorize a charge, or opt anyone into later marketing updates.
The /partner portal on kariant.app is separate from the /partner portal on Xtended. Private account, message and application pages are not public search listings. Search engines decide when to crawl and index public pages; immediate indexing or citations are not guaranteed.
If a page is temporarily unavailable, try again shortly. Do not repeat a payment merely because a page fails to load; check its status or contact support first.
Understanding public listing factslink
Treat listing-reported costs, unit counts and territories as information to confirm with the brand and your advisers, not independent verification or a promise of earnings. A country where a brand operates does not automatically have territory rights available.
Not disclosed means the amount, currency or supporting evidence is unavailable; it does not mean zero cost. Check the original currency and cost basis before comparing opportunities. Public information is not a substitute for current disclosure documents and professional advice.
A public opportunity can be unavailable or awaiting review. If the service cannot check its current information, retry later; a temporary loading problem does not prove the brand has withdrawn it.
Category pages and your dashboard show a selection of opportunities, not the whole catalogue. A loading error does not mean there are no opportunities; use the retry option to check again.
If a detail or cost page says Source evidence under review, the brand and inquiry remain available but decision facts are withheld until their sources are reviewed. Missing figures do not mean zero cost, and missing territories do not prove that rights are unavailable. Signing in does not bypass this public evidence state; ask the brand for current documented terms.
The investment-range pages currently group only listings with a published USD minimum initial-investment amount. That minimum is not the total capital you will need. A brand with no public amount or a different currency may still offer an opportunity; ask it for current terms rather than assuming it falls outside your budget.
Each investment range includes its lower amount and stops before the next range starts. For example, USD 10,000 belongs in the USD 10,000 to under USD 50,000 range, not the under-USD-10,000 range. Load more to continue through matching public listings; an earlier page stays visible if the next one fails.
On a brand cost page at /franchises/<brand>/cost, review reported investment and fees separately from unit history and territory information. A source-record update date is not an FDD date or independent verification. Confirm fee inclusions, taxes, working capital, percentage bases and current rights with the brand using the information-request link.
If you see Offline or Cost information temporarily unavailable, reconnect or choose Retry public information. The cost view does not fill gaps with estimates, assume a missing currency from your location, or substitute the last brand you viewed. These cost pages are being rolled out separately from wider listing improvements.
The detail-page Unit Budget Planner calculates only from the number of units, per-unit budget and shared costs you enter, up to a total of 1 trillion in the listing currency. It does not forecast revenue, profit, discounts, payback or ROI. A missing listing currency must be confirmed before calculating. Reset clears your assumptions; they are not saved or charged as an AI request.
The public detail snapshot shows only admitted listing-reported costs, history and geography. Brand prose, logos, photos, videos, formats, support packages, reviews, related editions and sponsored results are not copied from raw private or unreviewed records. Missing evidence is explained rather than filled with a standard package. Ask the brand for current terms; no satisfaction score, exclusivity distance, population threshold or protection from competition is guaranteed.
The section links jump through information already present on the page and preserve your budget inputs. Changing to another document or returning through history checks public availability again. If a public record is unavailable, signing in does not turn that public address into an owner preview.
The updated public comparison view at /compare/<brand-a>-vs-<brand-b> is being rolled out with the same listing-reported information for signed-out and signed-in visitors. Both opportunities must currently be publicly available. Compare explicit currencies, cost inclusions, dates and unit counts; different currencies are not converted into a cheaper-brand verdict. Lower reported figures are not an investment recommendation.
A comparison can retain a brand and its information-request link while withholding facts awaiting source review. It does not supply earnings forecasts, FDD verification or unreviewed logos and photos. If current information cannot be checked, use Retry public comparison after reconnecting; the view does not substitute a previously viewed pair. Viewing this comparison does not start an AI request or spend Koins/Sikka.
On a two-brand comparison, choose Copy comparison link to share the page. If your browser cannot copy it automatically, select and copy the link shown. The shared link contains only the two public brands, not your account or session details.
The updated /franchises directory is being rolled out in checked batches. Next batch can reveal more opportunities even when the current batch has no matches. The batch size is not a total result count; returning to a previous batch checks current availability again. An expired batch link can be refreshed using Start again.
Directory search uses published brand names and reported industries, not private descriptions. Country and budget-currency selectors include search. A maximum investment compares only a reported minimum in the same currency; missing amounts and other currencies remain visible with a not-comparable notice. There is no automatic currency conversion or suitability ranking. Ordinary directory browsing does not start AI or spend Koins/Sikka.
Request Information opens an accessible dialog for the current brand. Save and comparison actions use the listing identifier, and a failed save is not presented as confirmed. Signed-in members can choose Message this brand: the existing inquiry must be assigned before a secure conversation can open. Pending verification or assignment is followed in Kontinue; no owner identity is published to enable messaging.
Two sides, one marketplacelink
As a seeker you browse live franchise listings, compare brands side by side, model the money, and contact franchisors — every inquiry lands in a shared pipeline both sides can track.
Approved franchise partners use the separate Xtended partner portal at xtended.kariant.app/partner for listing and inquiry operations. The public partner information and onboarding journey are available there; access to operating tools depends on the account and launch state.
The updated Partner navigation groups tools under For Partners and explains the buyer experience under For Opportunity Seekers. The latter uses /partner/for-users and its topic pages; older /partner/for-franchise-seekers bookmarks retain their query and page section when redirected. These public guides explain the experience and do not grant access to private tools. This navigation update is in local review before release.
A seeker inquiry, its franchisor ownership, conversation and staff moderation state share one audited lifecycle, so status changes remain consistent between the seeker experience, the franchisor console and Kariant administration.
How the seeker side is organizedlink
The header carries five menus, left to right: Dashboard (your signed-in overview — wallet, pipeline snapshot, latest messages, and saved brands in one place), For You (your personalized feed of matched brands, with the reasons shown), Kontinue (your pipeline, discovery days, saved list, Koins, and the AI advisor), Discover (browse, AI matching, brand genome, comparison, and the geography directory — countries → states → cities), and Finance (calculators, loan readiness, affordability, tax tools, investment memos).
Alongside the menus: a search bar in the center of the header itself, Messages (direct conversations with franchisors, one tap from the header icon with your unread count), notifications behind the bell, the resale marketplace for existing units, and your Saved shortlist at /saved — saved brands appear in pages of admitted public cards with view, supported comparison controls, and remove.
The updated Xtended homepage is in local review with search, quick links, industry and budget filters, research guides and partner links. It shows up to six public opportunities with available descriptions, logos, costs and countries. This is a selection, not the full catalog or paid featured placements. Browse franchises and Explore more franchises continue through the results.
Budget shortcuts use the selected country’s currency, including rupees for India. Global and multi-country views use US dollars. Listing prices stay in their original currencies; selecting a country does not convert them. Confirm current costs and territory availability with the brand.
After sign-in, the updated homepage adds your journey and For You matches from saved preferences. Matching uses reported industry and country information and compares budget amounts only in the same recorded currency. Older budgets saved without a currency remain USD, without conversion. These suggestions use the current selection, not the whole catalog, and do not run paid AI. Switching accounts clears previous personal results. Failed preference or journey reads offer Retry instead of showing old or partial information.
The prepared journey update checks up to 20 recent inquiry records and 20 upcoming appointments. Recent inquiries and Recent stage describe that checked window, not your lifetime history. Older records without recorded account scope may be absent. Dates show the recorded timezone or UTC. Use the pipeline and appointment review links to investigate missing history; an unavailable check is not proof that you have no inquiries.
A stalled journey check offers Retry after eight seconds. A completed check expires after five minutes or when its next appointment starts; use Refresh journey for another check. The page does not refresh automatically or debit Koins/Sikka for this summary. Source changes are prepared locally; rollout and account-access checks are still pending.
What it costslink
Public browsing and comparing listing information do not spend Koins. Paid analysis requires an explicit action and a quoted price through KashFlow, shown as Koins or Sikka where applicable. Opening the homepage, researching a brand or completing a profile does not automatically earn promotional currency.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to browse?expand_more
No — listings, categories, and country pages are open. You need a free account to save franchises, contact franchisors, use AI tools, and track your pipeline.
Do I need a separate identity or organization for Xtended?expand_more
No. Use your existing Kariant identity. Organization setup at /organization uses the same master organization graph as kariant.app. The first organization is free across both products; additional organizations cost 1,000 Koins through KashFlow. Each organization includes one free subsidiary and one free direct brand, and each subsidiary includes one free brand. Additional subsidiaries cost 750 Koins; additional direct organization brands cost 500; additional subsidiary brands cost 250. The creation screen shows the quote and asks for confirmation before any charge.
Can a Kariant partner also explore Xtended as a seeker?expand_more
Yes. Your Kariant identity is shared, while Xtended keeps your seeker profile separate from any partner profile. Browsing franchise opportunities uses the seeker experience; partner tools and standing checks are confined to Xtended /partner. Joining the seeker experience does not grant partner access or change your organization.
How do I recover my password?expand_more
Open Forgot password from sign-in and use the emailed recovery link. After setting a new password, sign in through Kariant Identity to return to Xtended. Resetting a password does not automatically sign you in. Request a fresh link if the old one expired or was already used.
Can I switch the Kariant account I use for Xtended?expand_more
Choose Use a different account in the sign-in flow and confirm the account change at Kariant Identity. Keep the original destination so you return to Xtended. Organization details and purchase options are checked again for the selected master account; an organization from a previous account is not carried over.
Is Kariant Xtended a broker?expand_more
No. Kariant is the marketplace and toolset. You deal with franchisors directly; your inquiries and conversations are yours.
Where do franchisor questions go?expand_more
The franchisor console has its own documentation set — open Kariant Xtended for Franchisors from this product’s hub.
