Helping You Buy or Sell a Franchise
Many potential franchisees fall in love with the idea of owning a particular franchise. While enthusiasm is a positive entrepreneurial trait, financial and business realities must always be carefully considered. Angiuli, Katkin & Gentile's extensive experience in franchise investment matters helps clients understand these realities, as well as the steps they need to take to fully protect their investments.
The firm can:
- Review the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC) thoroughly, with an eye toward answering such key questions as: What are the obligations of the client in terms of sales and the purchase of supplies and services from the franchisor or designated provider? – What are the franchisor’s obligations in terms of training and marketing support? - Is the client subject to any potential liability, and if so, what steps can be taken to limit any legal exposure?
- Assist clients in engaging an accounting firm to create a pro forma sample financial statement
- Compare the franchise offering with similar franchise opportunities
- Make certain that the client has both flexibility and an opportunity to grow
