The days of faxing a copy of your P&L’s to potential buyers are over.  It’s a buyers’ market and your business will be compared with many others and every aspect scrutinised.

Their advisors will analyse your business from the information you provide and also the way that information is presented.

“Gaining finance approval in franchising proposals has its challenges. 

It is essential that full financial disclosure is provided otherwise financiers do not feel confident that they hold a true position.  Generally this means a lack of forthcoming finance approval. Hence a full and clearly articulated performance of the business is essential.

In my experience I can suggest that Finn Franchise Brokers provide business profiles that are not only essential information memorandum to provide disclosure suitable for the buying franchisee to present to their proposed financier but industry leading. Without these business profiles, the process of gaining finance approval can be very restrictive and therefore present the prospect with an experience that may discourage them fulfilling their purchase. Hence to provide your existing franchise business with the best possible chance of sale then I recommend a discussion with Finn Franchise Brokers to ascertain your business profile.”
