Franchise Resale vs. Startup

For some entrepreneurs, the opportunity to purchase an existing franchise location is a more appealing option than a start-up franchise.

For some, it is preferential to secure an already cash flowing business with location, employees, systems, etc. already in place. Franchise resales can also be a little like real-estate in that there are highly successful resales that fetch top dollar and there are also ‘diamonds and the rough” that can sometimes be purchased for less than the cost of a startup.

At FranDecision, we have a database of hundreds of existing franchise locations across the U.S. that are for sale and we would be happy to share with you what is available in your desired market.
