you want to own your own business? FranQuest® specializes in mergers, acquisitions
and the sale of small to midsize closely held companies,franchised businesses,
and privately owned businesses. Areas of expertise include: Before purchasing any type of business, there are several critical questions to ask: Am I the type of person who should be a franchisee? Can I follow a prescribed business system and play on the “team” contributing to an organization collectively focused on building the brand for the benefit of all? What is the best way for me as an individual to acquire the right franchise? Should I start with one franchise, multiple, or become an area developer? Should I buy a business that is not franchised? Which industry and type of business should I pursue and acquire? What are the things I should be looking for in my quest to buy a business? What about buying an independent business that could be licensed or franchised later? What should I look for in a prototype and how should I acquire it? Are there other types of participation? What if I am not interested in running the business but want to participate as a Joint Venturee or Investor. What opportunities are there in working with Independent Business Owners, Franchisors or Franchisees who want to expand their business? Given the fact that you may already have extensive experience in the franchise industry and as a business owner you may ask yourself: “Should I acquire a franchise company or merge my existing company with another existing one operating as a franchisor?” Who should I seek out to assist me with my acquisition project? What should I look for in a candidate? How do I perform my due diligence? What are the liabilities? What are the complements and supplements I need to consider in making sure the acquisition is best for me? FranQuest® can help you find the answers to these questions FranQuest® has founded, bought or sold franchises, entire franchise systems, prototypes, and stand alone independent businesses. Using its proprietary FranQuest Search and Acquire System, superior opportunities are identified according to the unique qualities and needs of the owner, buyer, investor and the business.

Buying or selling a Franchisor requires that an M&A Firm or Business Broker have extensive experience in the franchise industry. Understanding how to calculate “value” for a Franchisor is important when planning an exit or acquisition strategy. Setting the price of a franchise operation is complex and requires expertise related to future royalty and fee cash flows, decentralization of the founder, legal agreements, implied representations, negative contingencies in the franchisor-franchisee relationship, value of the concept and brand, existing human resources, quality of the existing training/support systems, and a host of other elements unique to the franchise industry.
