What is Franchising?
The evolution of franchising can be traced back to the 1850s, but franchising as we understand it today started in the 1950s and has reached almost mythical stature over the last fifty years. A new franchise opens every 8 minutes of every business day and drives over 40% of all retail business. Annually, franchising accounts for over $800 Billion in sales, and employs over 8 Million people. Franchise opportunities are the most successful business opportunities on the planet with over 95% success rate and at the same time creating over 170,000 new jobs per year.

Who Invests in Business Franchise Opportunities?
The majority of franchise business buyers are success-oriented, educated, family-minded, corporate people. As corporations switched their focus from employees to investors, they realized how expensive their senior level employee had become and they began down-sizing their mid and upper level managers to save money and improve investor stakes in their companies. This growing number of outstanding corporate managers are now the driving force behind franchising and represent a constant stream of qualified franchise buyers through Murphy offices.

Why Use An Intermediary?

The business owner is an expert at running the business but may not be as knowledgeable about the selling process. An intermediary can assist the business owner reach their goal of a successful transaction.

Facilitator
Procrastination and delay are critical factors when structuring a deal. Therefore, a business broker will continually move the process forward with qualified buyers, financing resources and ancillary associations to the deal such as CPAs and attorneys. a business broker is in a better position to perform this function than the owner as he/she is focused on the life cycle of the deal. The owner will be allowed to focus on operating a profitable business.

Negotiator
Selling a business is often emotional for the business owner. An intermediary will act on behalf of the owner and will establish a strong negotiating position without compromising the goodwill and relationship between the principal parties. An intermediary will increase the opportunity to receive “the best price” for the business.

Resources
A business broker is a skilled professional in the mergers and acquisitions world and has established relationships with many professional organizations which are required to complete the transfer of ownership. These relationships will prove to be extremely beneficial to the business owner and the buyers.

Confidentiality
An owner could experience disastrous results by “leaking” that the business is for sale. Employees, customers, suppliers and competitors’ relationships could be damaged causing an adverse condition hurting the potential sale. A business broker will preserve the confidentiality of the selling company during the process of marketing the business and only share information on a “need to know” basis.

Advisor
As an intermediary, a business broker will provide the business owner with strategic information regarding market timing, market conditions, market price, financing options, structuring the transaction and other information that is advantageous to the owner.
