Six moves, and what help means
One we run end to end; for the rest, judgement and introductions.
Buying a business
We help you work out what you are actually buying: what the numbers mean, what comes with it, and what breaks the day the founder leaves.
Selling or handing one over
We help get a business to where someone else can run it: clean books, and an operation that does not live in your head.
Taking on a franchise
Which brands are genuinely recruiting, what a unit really costs, and whether your territory is free. We run this machinery for brands, so we see it from the inside.
Franchising your own brand
Publish an application form, score applicants on what they can fund, run the discovery day, get the disclosure acknowledged with the cooling-off period enforced, and accrue royalty per outlet.
Finding suppliers or manufacturing
Who can make it, at your volume and quality. Introductions where we have them, and a straight answer where we don't.
Finding distribution or stockists
Getting onto other people's shelves, and telling afterwards which stockists actually sell it.
Including the one about the missing listings
Is this a listings site? Can I browse businesses for sale?
Not yet. Listings, proposals and agreements are built, but there is no supply to browse, so this page lists nothing.
So what do I actually get if I fill this in?
A conversation with someone who tells you honestly whether we can help: an introduction, what we learned running the same move, or a plain no.
You said franchising is different. How?
It is the one we run end to end: application form, applicant scoring, discovery days, disclosure with the cooling-off window, territories per unit, and royalty accrued per outlet. Collecting and paying out that royalty is still a conversation with us.
Do you take a cut?
Not on ordinary sales; you pay the plan only. The one exception is in our Terms: a Network Venture pays a joint-venture fee.
I'm not sure which of these I'm doing.
Say that; there is an option for it. Most useful conversations start with a situation, not a transaction.
