FAQ
- Will the motor or transport franchise agreement transfer to me?Review assignment, change-of-control, renewal and termination provisions, then obtain the franchisor's written approval. Confirm the territory, operating model and legal entity you are acquiring, because purchasing assets alone may not secure the right to use the brand.
- How do I calculate the franchise's real operating margin?Rebuild profit after royalties, marketing levies, software, vehicle finance, required suppliers, insurance and owner labour. Compare actual unit volumes and realised prices with franchisor illustrations, excluding rebates or launch support that will not continue.
- Which compulsory investment could follow the acquisition?Identify required vehicle ages, equipment, premises, signage, uniforms, technology and refurbishment at transfer or renewal. Obtain current specifications and quotations, then include training, downtime and finance costs rather than accepting the seller's historic capital spending.
- What protection does the franchise territory provide?Read the exact territory, exclusivity, reserved channels and franchisor sales rights in the agreement. Check neighbouring franchisees, national accounts and online leads, and compare the protected area with where the acquired customers and journeys actually originate.
- Who owns the customers and operational data?Confirm ownership and post-termination access for customer records, telephone numbers, websites, booking histories, telematics and reviews. Check data-protection roles and franchisor system access, ensuring records needed for trading can lawfully remain available after completion.
- How should I assess the eventual resale of the franchise?Examine transfer fees, franchisor approval, valuation restrictions, rights of first refusal and post-termination covenants. Review previous resales in the network and remaining agreement term, because a profitable unit may still have a restricted or costly exit.
