RESALES · FDD ITEMS 6, 17 & 20
Buying an existing franchise
Franchised units change hands every year. Across the 724 brands on this site with an Item 20 table, franchisees reported 11,350 transfers in their latest disclosed year, 4.8% of the 234,539 franchised units open at the start of that year. A resale is a different purchase from a new unit. You buy a track record instead of a projection, and the franchisor still controls whether the deal closes.
What's different about a resale
- You buy evidence. Three years of a real unit's books, royalty reports and tax returns. The work is tying them out, and the seller's “owner benefit” figure is marketing until every add-back is tested.
- The franchisor has a veto. Every FDD makes a transfer subject to the franchisor's consent. Some promise not to withhold it unreasonably, and many don't.
- The franchisor may take your deal. A right of first refusal lets the franchisor buy the unit on the terms you negotiated. 221 of the 240 brands below (92%) state one.
- You usually sign today's agreement. 176 of 240 (73%) require the buyer to sign the then-current franchise agreement. Its royalty, fees and territory can differ from the seller's, so price the deal on the agreement you will sign.
- The remodel bill comes with the keys. 118 of 240 (49%) require or may require upgrades to current standards at transfer. Get the list in writing, then negotiate it into the price.
- You may get only the seller's remaining term. 28 of 240 (12%) state that the buyer gets only the remainder of the seller's term. A unit with three years left is a three-year business plus a renewal negotiation.
- Price it against cash flow, not hope. In general small-business sales, buyers paid about 2.30× cash flow for businesses under $1M and 3.73× above $1M (BizBuySell, 2026-Q3; general market data, not franchise-specific). SBA rules require at least 10% equity on a complete change of ownership, and lenders can ask for more.

Each brand's terms come from its latest filing on this site. Software read them from Items 6 and 17, and each value was matched to a verbatim quote in the filing. Open a brand for the page and quote behind every cell. “Not stated” means the Item 17 summary doesn't address it, not that the condition doesn't exist. “—” means we couldn't verify a value. Item 17 summarises the franchise agreement, and the agreement controls. Coverage is the largest systems by units and SBA lending, not every brand.
Looking at a specific unit?Deal Review · $2,000 · 10 business days
On a resale, the Deal Review ties three years of the seller's P&Ls to the tax returns and royalty reports, tests each add-back, and shows what the unit clears after your debt service. It is an analysis, not an audit, review or quality-of-earnings attestation. The free call comes first. It is an educational session, not an engagement.
