From the start when you are compiling your shortlist of franchises on through analyzing and signing your franchise agreement can take as little as 30 days (but that's fast) and as much as 90+ days. Much of this timeline depends on how meticulous you are with your due diligence and analysis. Some financing strategies take longer than others which may impact your timeline too. Then the time frame to launch your franchise depends a lot on its business model. For example, many home based franchises can take as little as 30 days to get open for business, while those that require a brick-and-mortar building can add as much as six months to the timeline to allow for lease negotiation and construction of the business' interior design. We hate to say "it depends", but... it depends.

Absolutely nothing! Zilch. Nada. Since we're paid by any one of the more than 700+ franchises you may consider, we really have no agenda as to which franchise you choose. Our BizVendr advisors are motivated by making a good match with you and the franchise, that's our sincere motivation. We know when that happens it benefits you, the franchisor, and we then get paid for a successful match. Hopefully, you'll then tell your friends to call us too!

Because our founder has many years of experience as a "business broker" he can tell you many stories and reasons why most entrepreneurs should consider franchises rather than existing businesses, especially if it is a first-time buyer with less than one million dollars to invest, here's why that will make sense to you. More often than not most of the businesses with values under $1 million are operated with inadequate to poor financial records. At lower level values of small businesses owners usually "play" with their accounting more readily than larger businesses can afford to do. That often makes it very difficult for business buyers to analyze the financials and come to an accurate valuation of these small businesses under $1 million. This tends to lengthen a buyer's search time to be months or even years sometimes. And, by having a franchisor in your corner who is incentivized to support the growth of your franchise you're not left with no one to call for help like you would be after the seller of an existing business has received his proceeds high-tailed it to the golf course or Cancun. Under $1 million stick with franchises in almost all cases.

Well, here's the catch 22. You cannot and should not make a decision about the viability of any business opportunity without projecting how much money you believe you can make. The problem is franchise law enacted by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) does not permit franchisors to estimate how much money you will make. In an effort to protect you and your investment, the law does not make it easy on you to get the question answered by the franchisor. So, how do you answer it? You have to quiz the franchisor on what you see in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) for any financial performance representations in the Item 19 section. And, you need to inquire with current franchise owners in the franchise about their performance to help you make your own pro-forma profit and loss statement of projections. In the book by the founder of BizVendr "The Ultimate Franchise Buyer's Guide" he'll give you detailed instructions on how to do this. Ask for a copy today.

We're ready to go to work for you. Click the Start Your Search For Free Today button below and take the Franchise Fingerprint™ assessment to begin.

The proper term for the relationship we have with you and the franchisor is that of a "recruiter". Look at it this way, we're not a "broker" because there is no professional license that governs what we do (i.e. stock or real estate brokers) and we don't "sell" anything. We're not motivated to steer you in one direction or another, we're incentivized to help you find the "right" franchise for you and the franchisor. We're also not a "Consultant" because we're not paid by you as in typical consultant/client relationships. Really what we do is ethically match you with what you feel is the best franchise for you and the franchisor. That is the best way to describe our motivation and role in supporting you in your transaction.
