Once you have made the difficult decision to sell

Who is Most Qualified
to Sell Your Franchise ?

All brokers and brokerage firms are not alike.  Not all will operate in the "buyer pool" containing your ideal acquirer and levels of expertise and experience will vary extensively.  Our experience taught us that determining who is best qualified to represent you is only guess until the preliminary work has been completed i.e.; price and terms have been set, ideal buyer candidate qualifications and other criteria have been identified and established.  Franchise Re-Sale System's nationwide network of brokers and intermediaries are the top in their areas of expertise.  We will introduce you to the firm(s) best qualified to represent your size and type franchise and together we will begin the selling process.  

Our nationwide team of Brokers and Intermediaries have a success rate four times that of the business brokerage community.*   You might ask: "Why are the Franchise Re-Sale Network members so much more successful?"  The answer is simple, Preparation.  You are most likely familiar with the 7 Ps -- Proper Prior Preparation Prevents Pitifully Poor Performance -- well, therein lies the "secret" to our extraordinary level of success.  

Our Nationwide Network has a Success Rate Four Times that of the Business Brokerage Community*

In example of our preparation, before the marketing effort is begun we have: 

• Determined your optimum price and terms

• Arranged for buyer's acquisition financing

• Identified the characteristics of your ideal buyer

• Positioned your business so that your acquirer will recognize the exciting opportunity your particular franchise represents

• Have marketing materials written in the "voice" of your target acquirer

• Compiled and prepared all necessary "Due Diligence" materials

• Identified the transaction structure that minimizes taxation

We begin knowing exactly in which pool of buyers we will find yours.  We know how the different type of buyers think, what turns them on or off and how much they are likely to pay.  We also know not to put a price on your business!  The first one to mention price usually looses and we are out to win!  As a result, businesses we represent typically sell at or above your targeted price.  We are ready to close the sale before we begin the selling process.

Equally important are the facts revealed when we surveyed those who had purchased businesses through us several years earlier 

• All were still in business

• All but one had increased revenues (that person expended his energies on a divorce instead)

• Seventy five percent had more than doubled the business

Not only had we sold the franchise at optimum prices but the business, and therefore the employees, vendors, franchisor and customers, had benefited also - giving credence to the old adage - "Only the right buyer will pay the right price."  And, we might add, only the right buyer will be able to take the business to its next level.  

Employing the Franchise Re-Sale System's disciplined approach produces Win, Win, Win results i.e.: 

• The franchisee obtains an optimum price, 

• The franchise buyer obtains an exciting opportunity, 

• The franchisor, employees, vendors and customers continue to enjoy benefits from the business
