Does anyone have experience with acquiring a Franchisor?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently exploring the acquisition of a franchisor with 20 franchisee units in the home health care space. I would love to connect with anyone who has experience acquiring or operating a franchisor, especially within this industry.

Specifically, I’m interested in learning:

  • What key due diligence items should I focus on for the franchisor and its franchisees?
  • How to best assess the support and operational structure in place for the franchise network?
  • What challenges should I anticipate when transitioning ownership of a franchisor?
  • Are there any common pitfalls or issues related to franchisee relationships that I should be aware of?
  • Any insights on structuring the deal to ensure long-term success?

    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!

Best, David
