Selling Your Franchise (FSE)

A Franchisee wishing to sell their business must provide their Franchisor its price, profit and loss, equipment included, and a list of regular clients (if any).

Although many Franchises are sold through advertising by the Franchisor, Franchisees can and should advertise their own businesses for sale. Such advertising can include your phone number, so long as it is in publications or sites dedicated to business sales.

All prospects must be referred to the Franchisor for screening and explanation of the system, and the prospect is entitled to buy whichever business best suits their needs.

The purchase price (except for equipment) must be paid to Franchisor and will be held for ten days. After deducting any payments due, including fees, 50% of the purchase price will be paid to the vendor. The balance will be paid 45 days from the start date, minus money owed to the purchaser for clients that failed to transfer as per the Franchise Agreement. A client who cannot be contacted to confirm regular service is not considered to have transferred.

Vendors should introduce purchasers to clients and provide all necessary information to aid the transfer.
