We’ve had great success matching buyers with franchise resellers. We secure interested parties who want to become Franchise Owners but would rather purchase an existing franchise business in lieu of developing a new store.

A franchise is a business model that involves one business owner licensing trademarks and methods to an independent entrepreneur. Sometimes, franchises are referred to as chains.

  • Turnkey Business – There are many entrepreneurs that have exactly what it takes to run a successful business but don’t have what it takes to get their business up and running. Whether it be financing, negotiating lease terms or even the confidence it takes to quit their job and start their own business.
  • Eliminating Difficulties – Finding a location, negotiating a lease, hiring reliable contractors and doing everything on-time and within budget are all challenges that can set a new business owner back. These are tasks that are completely taken off of your plate in a franchised investment.
  • Proven System – When you join a franchise you join a system. All franchises have an established system in place to follow. These systems are designed to improve the overall productivity and increase sales of each franchise. Having a proven system already in place eliminates the guesswork and errors a common business owner would normally face.
  • Higher Likelihood of Success – Joining a franchise is very different from starting a mom-and-pop business. Since there is an already established system in place, there is a higher likelihood of success. If you follow the system the franchisor has put in place, you should be on your way to running a very successful business.
  • Corporate Image and Brand Awareness – If you join into a franchise system that is already established the corporate image and brand awareness is already recognized. Customers are usually more comfortable purchasing items they are familiar with, and working with companies they already know and trust.
  • Easier to Obtain Financing – Lenders are usually very comfortable financing the purchase of a franchise because they already have a proven track record. Bankers usually look at successful franchise chains as having a lower risk of repayment default and are more likely to loan money based on that premise. Some franchise systems even provide in-house financing and/or leasing options.
  • Training –Most franchise companies offer a 1-4 week training program that is usually held at their corporate offices or at an actual franchise location. This is what makes franchises stand out from every other business or business opportunity. The franchisor will train you to run your franchise exactly the same way their other franchise locations are run. This will ensure that you are running your business efficiently and will help to eliminate any common mistakes a new business owner usually faces.
