FRANCHISE DEVELOPMENT

Over the last several years it has been difficult to miss the wildly successful franchise trend.  A sandwich shop or commercial cleaning, a women’s fitness chain or mobile pet grooming, the proliferation of franchises has exploded in the last 20 years. 

At SouthStar we see many great business concepts that are ripe for expansion via franchising.  Through our affiliation with Business Brokers of America we offer two key services for any business owner exploring franchising for growth.

FRANCHISE FILINGS – Franchises are regulated by the Federal Trade Commission which involves considerable legal work for the appropriate documentation and filings.  It is quite typical for this upfront cost to run as much as $50,000 or $100,000.  Due to economies of scale, we are able to provide these services for significantly lower fees, while also providing vast experience in the process.

FRANCHISE MARKETING & REPRESENTATION – Once the paperwork is filed and expansion is underway, SouthStar and our BBOA affiliated offices around the country are uniquely positioned to assist you.  We are able to limit your early expense in staffing for franchise development while also accelerating the expansion of your business.   We meet with qualified buyers every day that are looking to own and operate a great business.  With our support of your franchising efforts, you are free to focus on your concept and franchisees.
