Unlocking Growth Potential
If you're part of a buyer group, maybe you are the general partner with a bunch of limited partners or you're part of a search fund, you're probably looking for businesses that are out there. My guess is that you're not finding as much as you would like to find, and you have a lot of undeployed capital. I would like you to consider franchising as an option, and here's why…
Franchising vs. Independent Businesses
There are several types of franchises that are out there that make a really good fit for buyer groups and search funds. They are actively looking for those types of groups, specifically to be multi-unit empire builders. It's quite likely that you're going to have somebody on your team that's running that business full-time, day-to-day, and then you have some investor partners.
What that means is that you can build a scalable business faster. You can know a lot about what it takes to get that business from a zero revenue state to your revenue goals that you've defined for your partnership.?

How Franchising Can Accelerate Your Growth
Franchises compare very favorably when it comes to investment and return over the long haul. They are favorable when you compare it to buying an independent business that already has a known set of performance metrics, whether that's EBITDA or whatever that is.
Even though there are fewer franchises that are resales, there are a lot out there that can be brand new, where you can achieve your revenue and your performance goals while starting them up from scratch. It's going to be a very interesting economic opportunity that might put a smile on your face for your limited partners.?
If you're in a search fund, if you're in a buyer group or just looking to buy a business to get into and run it day-to-day, come talk to me. I think franchising might be an interesting option for you.
