How we support your franchise sale

A little up-front effort goes a long way in securing the right outcome for everyone: vendor, buyer and franchisor. Our Franchise Business Broker service gives you two options:

• A valuation of your business now, and advice on increasing its value if you’re looking to sell in the future rather than right now.
• End-to-end support every step of the way from valuation to marketing to sale, with regular communication throughout the process.

Welcome to Chantry Group a team of franchise professionals whose Resales Division supports the whole process of selling a franchise business.

Established in 2007, the team have approaching 150 years combined UK franchise industry experience and are annually accredited at the highest level by the bfa (British Franchise Association) as professional advisors to the industry. Led by Managing Director Chris Cook, Chartered Marketer and bfa QFP trainer & supported by Ian Bradley QFP, Senior Commercial Manager & the rest of the team.

Finding the right buyer for a franchise can be tricky; there’s a delicate balance between showing a business off and highlighting its strengths and indicating the opportunities for a new owner to achieve a strong return on their investment.

You’ll also need an understanding of who your potential buyers are; where to find them; and how to present the business to attract enquiries.

Finding a Buyer

Our marketing team will promote your business and generate enquiries which we will handle for you – you don’t have to worry about dealing with time wasters.

Any prospective purchaser will need to be approved by your franchisor – we understand what they will be looking for in their new franchisee.

Negotiating the Deal

We will broker the deal, assisting with the sales negotiations.

We will help you to be fully prepared for your purchasers due diligence through our document storage facility and provide a template Heads of Terms Agreement, essential for briefing your respective lawyers.

Managing the Sale

We work closely with parties involved, managing the process to ensure a smooth transition.
