Why buy a franchise resale?

You don't always have to start a franchise from scratch; many franchisees are looking to sell their existing franchise. As well as the traditional benefits of franchising, a resale will usually have additional ones such as an existing client base, established presence and revenue from day one. There are many reasons why existing franchises are for sale:

• The franchisee could be very successful and wants to sell a profitable business - this was their exit strategy from the start
• The franchisee is retiring
• The franchisee has realised that the business is not for them
• The franchisee has other business concerns to concentrate on
• The franchisee may be relocating
• The franchisee may need to sell due to ill health
