The Better Franchise Exit

---

At DGB Business Advisory, we specialize in franchise owner exit planning. Our experience comes from years of owning franchise businesses and then managing the resale program for 100+ franchise owner exits as part of the franchisor team. We call our approach The Better Franchise Exit.  Most franchise exit discussions focus on the negative with legal complications, penalties, and stress.  We believe exits can be positive and rewarding, even in challenging circumstances, but it does require deliberate action and planning.

Like any business sale, franchise exit planning can deliver tremendous personal, financial and business results.  It benefits both the franchisee and franchisor too.

• The right franchisee is in the right location at the right time.
• The brand attracts stronger operators who drive systemwide results.
• New franchisees (your buyers) invest with confidence of an exit at a future gain.
• Existing franchisees are motivated to continually reinvest and grow value.
• Underperforming franchisees can transition with less disruption.
• Successful sellers become high-credibility brand ambassadors.
