Franchise M&A for the Lower Middle Market

We represent franchise sellers
and source deals for buyers.

Sell-side advisory for franchise owners ready to exit. Targeted deal origination for operators and investors looking to acquire.

Franchise-native expertise

We've operated franchise businesses, reviewed FDDs, and sat across the table from franchisors. We don't Google your brand after you call.

Off-market deal flow

We run outbound campaigns every day against specific franchise systems. The best deals never hit a marketplace.

Institutional rigor, right-sized fees

Structured process — valuation, materials, qualified counterparties — at a price that fits franchise deal sizes.

Two services. Clear value.

We represent sellers from engagement to close. For buyers, we originate qualified, off-market deal flow against your target criteria.

Sell-Side Advisory

Full representation through close

We are your advisor from engagement to closing. Valuation, marketing, buyer outreach, negotiation, franchisor transfer — we run every step of the process so you can focus on running your business until the keys change hands.

  • Valuation grounded in franchise resale comps and FDD data
  • Confidential marketing materials and organized data room
  • Active buyer outreach to operators, PE-backed platforms, and our buy-side network
  • Franchisor transfer navigation — approvals, ROFR, training, landlord coordination
  • Deal management from LOI through close
You get: A structured sale process and an advisor in your corner through every step of it.

Buy-Side Deal Origination

Targeted sourcing & qualified pipeline

You tell us what you want — brand, geography, unit count, deal size. We go find it. Dedicated outbound sourcing against your criteria, seller qualification, and deal packaging so you're only looking at real opportunities.

  • Proprietary Franchise Ownership Map built from FDD Item 20 data
  • Dedicated outbound campaigns against your target systems and markets
  • Seller qualification and screening before anything reaches you
  • Deal packaging with financials and key terms
  • Biweekly pipeline reporting with full visibility into sourcing activity
You get: Qualified, off-market deal flow delivered to your desk — not a search you have to run yourself.

Not a business broker.
A franchise dealmaker.

Most brokers list and wait. We source, represent, and execute.

We only do franchise resale

No laundromats, no gas stations. We live inside the franchise ecosystem — FDDs, Item 19, transfer conditions, territory rights. That specialization means faster closes and better outcomes.

Two-sided network

Our sell-side mandates create deal flow for our buy-side clients. Our buy-side relationships create a warm buyer pool for our sellers. Both sides benefit from the same book of business.

We understand the franchisor relationship

Every franchise resale requires franchisor approval. We know what Item 17 says about transfer conditions and manage the approval process so deals don't die on the franchisor's desk.

Built for the lower middle market

You shouldn't need a $50M business to get a structured sale process. We bring institutional rigor — valuation, data room, qualified counterparties — to every engagement.
