Build Your Future with Winkworth

We manage a handful of resales every year, usually in a situation where the existing franchisee is looking to take a step back and retire. An incoming franchisee gets to take over a business with a fully-fitted office, experienced team, a lettings & management book, sales pipeline & register. This gives them the chance to hit the ground running and build on the strong foundations already in place.

Costs will vary depending on the performance of the current business, the higher the revenue then usually the more you might be expected to pay. We can give you guidance on what multiples businesses are currently trading at as well as talk through how to structure a deal so that both buyer and seller get the result they are looking for.

If you are interested in acquiring a franchise local to you, then reach out to Chris Brand to have a chat. It may well be that the current franchisee is considering an exit in the future, and there may be scope to work within the business whilst buying it over a period of time as part of the current franchisee’s succession plan.
