Sell Your Franchise or Multi-Unit Business
If you own one or more franchised locations, now may be the right time to consider your exit. Buyers are actively pursuing established units with brand recognition, trained staff, and strong cash flow.
Whether you’re running a regional fitness group, a group of fast-casual restaurants, or a health-focused franchise brand, the key to a successful sale is knowing how to present your business clearly and confidentially to the right buyer pool. That’s where we come in.
At Sunbelt Business Brokers of South Florida, we understand franchisor relationships, transfer processes, and what institutional and individual buyers expect. Our franchise resale process is built to drive value and minimize disruption.
Structure the Right Exit for Your Franchise
Franchise systems have layers, from brand agreements, royalties, real estate, staffing and more. We know how to guide you through a sale that satisfies you, the franchisor, and the buyer.
Exit Planning
We start by reviewing your franchise agreement, your personal involvement, and whether you’re part of a larger group. We clarify what’s required for a transfer and build a timeline around your goals. Whether you’re retiring, relocating, or reinvesting, we’ll help you define your next chapter.
Business Valuation
We evaluate earnings, franchise fees, lease obligations, and transfer conditions to deliver a market-backed valuation. Franchised businesses often get strong multiples when they have repeat customers, professional staff, and scalable operations. We show buyers the full value.
Marketing the Business
Buyers of franchised locations want clear financials and brand stability. We prepare a detailed confidential package, manage approvals with franchisors, and engage with qualified candidates. Our process preserves confidentiality and reduces friction.
What Franchise Buyers Want to See
In South Florida, manufacturing and trade businesses are in high demand. The market is active with private investors, industry consolidators, and individual buyers seeking stable, cash-flowing companies.

Multi-unit restaurant groups with strong EBITDA
Fitness and wellness franchises with automated memberships
Territory-based service concepts with low owner involvement
Franchises with transferable leases and high foot traffic
Locations with consistent five-figure monthly cash flow
We regularly work with franchisees in sectors such as:
Quick-service and fast-casual restaurants
Boutique fitness studios and wellness centers
Personal care and health franchises
National home service brands
Senior care and niche healthcare concepts
Recent Owner Outcome
A metal processing company in Palm Beach County came to us with a niche product, long-term customers, and minimal online presence. After preparing the business for sale, we identified a strategic buyer from out of state. We got through all of the licensing, environmental and customer concentration issues and obtained SBA financing for the buyer. The deal closed above asking, and the owner stayed on as a paid consultant for 12 months.
A three-unit healthy food franchise in Miami-Dade County came to us generating $3.6 million in annual revenue with a 15 percent net margin. The owners were relocating and needed a structured, franchisor-compliant exit. We coordinated with the brand, secured buyer financing, and completed a full transfer within 120 days. The deal included a franchise-approved operator who retained all staff and honored the seller’s original lease terms.
