Franchise resales are the sale of an already existing and established franchise business from one franchisee to another.
A franchise resale is a current business that is already operating. Some franchise resales may already have a loyal customer base and employed staff in place and usually already producing revenue streams.
There are various reasons why a franchisee may wish to sell their franchise business.
You need to conduct thorough due diligence before finalising the sale. You should review financial records, operational procedures, legal agreements, customer feedback, and other relevant information to assess the viability and value of the business.
Franchise resales typically require approval from the franchisor before the sale can be completed. The franchisor may have specific requirements and procedures for approving the sale of the business including financial qualifications, background checks, training requirements and adherence to the Franchise Agreement.
While franchise resales offer the advantage of acquiring an esltbaished business with existing cash flow and customer base, there may also be challenges such as inheriting existing liabilities, addressing operational issues, and managing customer expectations. Buyers should assess both the opportunities and challenges associated with the resale opportunity before making a decision.
Overall, franchise resales can be a viable option for individuals looking to enter the franchising industry or expand their existing portfolio. It's essential for both buyers and sellers to work closely with franchisors, legal advisors, and financial professionals to navigate the resale process effectively and ensure a successful transaction.
