When an entrepreneur first decides to look at business ownership, it generally sets off a series of complex and confusing questions as well as an emotional roller coaster. The complex and confusing questions include; will I buy an existing business or start my own? If I start my own business, what will I do and will it be successful? How do I know if it will be successful? There are several options including starting and buying an existing business. However, if business ownership is the direction you would like to take, you have a third option and that is buying the rights to a franchise.

Although the road to business ownership has three different paths, this workbook is built for one purpose only and that is to help a business owner who is considering the option to buy the rights to a franchise and open a business from scratch with the help of their franchisor. A separate workbook is available on buying an existing business which will be more helpful to those who decide to start a new business from scratch. Please look for my workbook called Successfully Start Your Own Business: Expert Advice from a Business Broker.

If this workbook has one purpose, it has two goals. The first goal is to outline and inform the reader about the different tasks and questions a franchise buyer will have to decide as they move through the decision-making process. The second goal is to provide a means for the franchise buyer to plan, organize, and prepare so when they buy their franchise they are better organized and understand what’s happening at each point in the transaction. The third goal is about helping you understand what’s involved in buying the rights to a franchise, determine what’s important to you, and work through your options so you can ultimately arrive at the decision that makes sense for you. Notice I said “arriving at the decision that makes sense for you.” Not your spouse. Not your parents, family, best friend, neighbor, accountant, mentor, coach, consultant, or advisor…but YOU. This is your life and your decision.

The inspiration for this guide comes from my personal experiences in buying, selling, owning, and operating five businesses in two countries, researching many, many different types of businesses, and my current experience as a business consultant/broker to those that wish to exit or enter business ownership. I wish someone had given me some organized structure to tackle this difficult experience as I have had to learn it the hard way. Now my goal is to use my experiences to help make that journey easier for you.

There are so many nuances to starting or buying a business, whether it is a franchise or not. Each person’s experience is unique as it brings together not only the different experiences of that person and those of their families, but also the attorneys, accountants, landlords, finance companies, franchisors, and other professionals that may assist in the transaction.

More recently, Andrew and his wife Anne owned an executive suites business in Fair Oaks, CA.
