 Selling an existing franchised business is much like selling any other business with these differences:
- Franchised businesses have some intangible value because of the franchise itself
- Franchised businesses will often bring a higher multiple in pricing
- Successful franchised business owners have the advantage of attracting both cash flow buyers and new franchise prospects
