Where do you want to TAKE YOUR FRANCHISE when it’s time to SELL OR TRANSFER?
Transferring a franchise is different than transferring other businesses. There are laws and bylaws that must be operated within. We understand these, and we’ll work with you, our partners, and your advisors to create a strategic solution designed to meet your goals. Is it time to sell or transfer your franchise?
Customized Four-Step Succession Process
Our Services
While franchise owners do business under unique governance, they share common concerns with typical business owners. These concerns include how to:
- Identify and manage family dynamics
- Create roles for qualified family members, ensuring the business is thriving before transfer
- Establish family governance, so family members understand their business roles
- Align business and family goals
- Improve operating results, to ensure a top-performing franchise and best sale price
- Institute a management continuity program
- Benchmark to provide an apples-to-apples comparison of value to peer franchise owners
- Work with your other professional advisors, including legal and tax pros
- Define an exit strategy, including determining when, why, and how
- Equalize an estate, when some siblings are in the business and others aren’t
- Maximize owners’ equity and wealth creation

- Work endless hours, built their businesses from little or nothing, and want to establish a legacy;
- Understand their business inside and out, but need counsel on how best to transfer or sell their franchise;
- May get great business support from their franchisors but lack all the information they need about how to efficiently and profitably transfer their business
