Selling a Franchise

When it is time to sell your franchise

you want a team with seasoned professionals who have led hundreds of other sellers through a successful sales process.

Franchise Intermediary Group follows a proven process from on boarding new clients to successfully seeing a transaction through to closing.

Every step of the way we are guiding both buyer and seller towards success.

There are many unique nuances to selling an established franchise that we navigate every day that go beyond the P&L.

What is happening with the franchisor? Are they growing, stable or in decline?
Is the franchisor sold out in your market? Do you have a development agreement, when does it expire?
Is a buyer going to have the same terms as your franchise agreement, or has the agreement updated?
When do I tell the Franchisor, Landlord, others, about my intent to sell?

If you have any of these questions, or others, lets have a confidential conversation.

Our guiding principles

Integrity / Honesty / Transparency / Professionalism – This is at the forefront of everything we do. Every communication with every buyer and seller. We understand what is at stake for buyers and sellers and know there is no reason to expect anything less then this in every communication with our team.
Confidentiality. We do not take this lightly. We work tirelessly to protect our sellers confidentiality when selling. Every buyer signs a Confidentality Agreement for every listing of ours. We do not use Blank Agreements with buyers. Signing an NDA, does not insure we are sending any info to a buyer or announcing what business is on the market. We qualify every buyer and constantly reinforce confidentiality.
Free Upfront Consultation / Valuation. We invest as much time up front as needed with Sellers to make sure they are comfortable with us, the selling process, and our opinions of how the market is going to value their business. You have questions, we have experience, and we are happy to invest as much time needed upfront to determine if we are the right fit to help you accomplish your goals.
Ready, Aim, Fire, As simple as it sounds, this is how we help maximize value and shorten the sales cycle and time on market. Time kills more deals then any other factor. Investing the time up front to build a strategic plan of action, marketing list, get materials organized is how we generate the best price for sellers in the shortest amount of time.

Our Marketing Reach

Depending on the transaction and who we are targeting for buyers, we take different marketing approaches. Selling a business earning $100,000, vs $1,000,000, vs $3,000,000 all have different types of buyers that would likely be interested and can be reached in different ways. Often we don’t price a business that is earning $2,000,000 + and let the market tell us the value. We have access to the latest AI list builders, subscription databases, our propriety database, in addition to aggressive online marketing and optimization.

We have relationships and active marketing strategies with many types of buyers active in the world of franchising.
