Decision guide
How to assess a franchise opportunity
A franchise lets you operate an established concept and brand. Before proceeding, confirm the total investment, recurring fees, territory, contract term, and the support provided by the network during opening and operation.
Territory and demand
Understand whether territorial exclusivity applies, which competitors already operate in the area, and what location requirements the brand imposes.
Contract and exit
Review the term, renewal, minimum targets, mandatory suppliers, unit transfer and termination conditions before making a commitment.
Network support
Confirm the training, site selection support, launch, technology, purchasing, marketing and follow-up provided after opening.
Unit economics
Validate sales, margin, break-even and cash requirements using comparable data and conservative scenarios.
Speak with franchisees
Contact current units and, where possible, former franchisees. Ask about actual support, deviations from the plan and the time needed to stabilise the operation.
Open a new franchise
This is what this page covers: a brand is looking for a new franchisee to create and operate a network unit. The displayed amount is the estimated initial investment when that information is provided.
Buy an existing unit
If the unit is already operating and changes ownership, look for it under Company Sale or Business Transfer, depending on what is transferred.
Frequently asked questions about franchises
What does franchising mean?
It is a model in which a brand authorises a franchisee to operate a unit under its concept, rules and identity, usually in exchange for an initial investment and agreed fees.
Is the displayed price the total cost?
Not always. Confirm what is included in the advertised investment and add any building works, equipment, stock, working capital, fees, licences and other applicable start-up costs.
Does a franchise guarantee profitability?
No. A tested brand and model may reduce some uncertainty, but location, demand, costs, execution and contract terms still determine the unit's outcome.
What is the difference between a franchise, a company sale and a business transfer?
In a franchise, a brand seeks someone to open a new unit. A company sale transfers the legal entity; a business transfer transfers the establishment without selling the legal entity.
For general guidance, also consult the official guide to acquiring a franchise.
