What Are Franchise Resales?
A franchise resale is an existing franchised business being sold by the person who currently runs it. The territory, the equipment, the staff and the customer base transfer with it, and so does the trading history — which means you can examine real numbers before you commit rather than relying on projections. Sales are subject to the franchisor approving you as an incoming owner, and the price is negotiated with the seller rather than set by the brand.

Value a local reputation that is already established
May be less ideal if you:
Have a specific territory or city in mind

Frequently asked questions
A resale involves purchasing an existing franchise location from its current owner, while a new franchise means opening a new location in an available territory. With a resale, you can evaluate an existing operating history. With a new franchise, you build the location and operation from the beginning using the franchisor’s established system.”
Most commonly retirement, relocation, or a move into a different business — but it is the first question to ask, and the answer should be consistent with what the accounts show. A seller who is leaving for personal reasons and one who is leaving because the territory underperforms are two very different purchases.
Yes. Every resale is conditional on the brand approving you as an incoming franchisee, and you will normally sign a current franchise agreement rather than inherit the seller's. That agreement may differ from the one the seller signed, so read it as a new document.
The asking price for a resale is specific to the existing business and may reflect factors such as its financial performance, assets, location, lease, and market conditions. Buyers should review the business’s financial and operational information as part of their due diligence.
