8,000+ buyers are registered on our database, actively looking for their next franchise.

When you sell with us, that's who your business goes in front of. Not a passive listing waiting to be found, but a database of qualified buyers across care, cleaning, food and drink, distribution, retail and full networks who've told us exactly what they're looking for.

It's one of the reasons our sellers tend to reach the right buyer faster. The interest is already there, it's just a case of making the right match.

If you're thinking about selling your franchise, get in touch and we'll talk through how it works.

The South West is one of our busiest regions right now, on both sides of the market.

We're talking to a lot of buyers who've relocated to the area or are planning to and want to step into something established rather than build from scratch. For sellers in the region, that's worth knowing.

We've also got more businesses coming to market in the South West over the coming months, so if you're a buyer and nothing's quite right yet, register with us and you'll be first to know.

Why buy an existing franchise instead of starting from scratch?

One of the biggest advantages of buying an established franchise resale is that you are not starting from zero.

You are stepping into a business with existing customers, trading history, operational foundations and a platform you can build from.
That can make the route into business ownership faster, clearer and lower risk than building from day one.

Franchisee exits are inevitable. Every network will have them.

The question is whether you're managing them well or just reacting when they happen.

A well-handled resale keeps the territory performing, protects the brand, and puts the right person in the seat. A poorly handled one does the opposite and the impact can go wider than just one franchisee.

We've been working with franchisors on resales since 2007. If it's something your network could handle better, we're happy to have that conversation.

Buying a franchise resale is one of the best ways into business ownership but going in with your eyes open matters.

Reason for sale: Most sellers are moving on for perfectly normal reasons e.g. retirement, lifestyle change, new opportunities. But it's always worth understanding the full picture before you go too far down the line.

The brand and franchisor: You're not just buying a business, you're buying into a franchise. The franchisor has to approve you as the incoming franchisee, so understanding their process, their expectations, and the brand itself early saves a lot of time later.

Total project cost: The asking price is what gets talked about, but it's rarely the full number. Legal fees, working capital, franchise fees, training costs... they all add up!

We talk to buyers about total project cost from day one.

If you're exploring franchise resales and want some guidance on any of the above, get in touch.

We've just launched our Franchisor Portal which gives franchisors with active resales listed with us a clearer view of the process than ever before.

You can see all your brand's active resales in one place, including the prospectus and available financials. If something needs updating on a listing, you can amend it directly within the portal (with the seller's agreement).

The live stats are probably the bit franchisors find most useful. Buyer views, favourites, financial access requests.. you can see exactly how much interest a listing is generating in real time.

You'll also have access to our network of resale specialists including banking, legal and professional contacts who understand franchise resales and can support the process where needed.

If you have a franchisee currently selling with us and want to get set up on the portal, get in touch.
