Why is it important to buy an existing franchise?

The benefit of buying an existing franchise is that you can be up and running a lot sooner than if you had to start from scratch – and if you know what you are purchasing.

What happens if a franchisee turns down a sale?

If they turn down the sale because the purchase price is too high, the selling franchisee will not be happy. However, if they let you invest in the business and you are not able to service your debt or achieve a return on your investment, you are not going to be happy.

Why do franchisors want to see if you overpay?

Another reason that most franchisors want to review the purchase price and understand how you plan to finance the business is that they simply want to see if you are overpaying and if the projected cash flow from the business is likely sufficient to allow you to meet your debt service . There is little advantage to any franchisor if you overpay for the business and then can’t service your debt and fail. Keep in mind that this can be a very difficult decision for franchisors to make. If they turn down the sale because the purchase price is too high, the selling franchisee will not be happy. However, if they let you invest in the business and you are not able to service your debt or achieve a return on your investment, you are not going to be happy. Make certain you discuss this with your legal counsel and they can address this with the franchisor.

What is the advantage of buying an existing business?

The advantage of buying an existing and successful business is that it is already up and running. Compared to starting from scratch with a new location, you don’t have to choose a territory, find a site or go through the process of negotiating a lease, finding an architect, or hiring a contractor to build it out.

Do franchisees need to understand what they are buying?

But understanding why the existing franchisee wants to sell their business, understanding what that business is worth and, most importantly, understanding what you are actually buying is essential before you sign the purchase and sale agreement.

Is a franchisee business profitable?

But not all businesses, including franchisee-owned businesses, are profitable – just because the purchase price is going to be lower than the cost of starting a new franchise, the franchise may not be a bargain.
