Why Buy an Existing Franchise?
A proven track record
You are not on your own, you don’t start from scratch, you don’t have to be the expert, the franchisor will train, get you up and running. They NEED you to be successful. They grow when you grow.
You want to pick a business in a good location that has a history of making money that you can review.
If the new owner follows the proven operations model, it should expect to make a predictable amount of cash flow.
Since the business is up and running, you can start doing business immediately.
An established franchise can have a stronger multiplier which is great when you are ready to sell.
