Thanks, Sean, for inviting me to your useful website — so I can FranTwit.

Beware of rapidly growing franchise systems, especially me-too concepts! The buyer’s risk is marketplace saturation by competing franchisees plus competing franchisees in similar franchise systems plus non-franchised competitors.

The Business Buyer Advocates at “Partner” On-Call Network see too many well-intentioned franchise buyers under-estimate the competition.

As Business Consultant and Business Broker I work with business owners to help them get their businesses in to a “ready for sale” state. A business that is “ready for sale” will be a successful profitable enterprise which will run without the business owner having to be there. It will also be attractive to potential purchasers. Imagine having someone come in to your business, cheque book in hand, and say “I like your business. How much would you like to me to write the cheque for?” That’s what we are aiming for – and then of course, being a business broker I can also handle the appraisal and sale process for you as well
