Buying a franchise may, on the surface, seem like any other business purchase.
However, a franchise is a special type of business in which the brand and business operational model has been systematised.
A franchise may have additional, more complex requirements for a buyer to consider and meet, but they also tend to come with more ongoing support than regular businesses.
We have created the JPAbusiness Buying a Franchise Planning Sheet to help business buyers assess potential franchise opportunities.
The planning sheet is split into three sections:
- 5 questions to ask when selecting a franchise
- 5 questions to ask once you have selected a franchise
- 6 questions to ask when considering buying a franchise.
JPAbusiness offers a range of services to assist franchise buyers, including:
- Business finder service
- Franchisor assessment
- Due diligence
- Purchase negotiations
- Shop fit-out and premises leasing options.
If you are thinking about buying a franchise, contact the JPAbusiness team on 02 6360 0360 for a confidential, obligation-free discussion.
