Shouldn't have said "failed". The tech seems cool. Def value there that they could license out to others or just sell outright to a big firm. I would bet that happens.

I'll take the other side here and predict this fails . 1) "Legacy banks only chase the biggest deals. This leaves millions of small business owners with no where to turn". Total nonsense. There's more brokers and LMM deal advisors out there than bulge bracket banks. There's.
Excited to share that @tryoffdeal has raised a $12M Series A to build the world’s first AI-native investment bank, less than 10 months after our Seed. This year we already launched over 30 M&A sell-sides, and delivered numerous multi-million $ exits to our clients. A quick 🧵

PopUP Bagels now has 300 signed locations across 10 states đź‘€. Franchisees are telling me the numbers are crazy!.
How to accidentally create a viral franchise:. Adam Goldberg started making bagels in 2020 as a pandemic hobby. Today, his brand PopUp Bagels has raised $8M+ from celebs like Paul Rudd, JJ Watt, and Michael Phelps; has 10 stores open, and 150+ more in development. So how'd he go

Quite the roller coaster . Down almost 20% since this post earlier this year and I was slightly panicked and called myself an idiot. To full recovery plus some and all time highs 🚀.
You have a huge purchase you're making end of 2025 . That money you'll use is invested 100% in stocks. Do you cash out now (while market is up) . OR let it ride and see what happens?.

Dirty Sodas at Crumbl?!. A very credible source claims Crumbl dirty sodas will be rolling out in US locations beginning as early as this monthđź‘€. No US locations have drink machines currently and these have only been tested in select locations in Canada. Bullish on Crumbl and

"Why is this only 7.3x?". Several factors at play here:. 1) Pro forma EBITDA isn't TTM. Pro Forma includes run-rate adjustments, credit for new store openings, etc. TTM was likely lower. If it was TTM $130mm EBITDA for example, this shows as a 10x deal. 2) Biggest chunk of the.

Large and growing franchisors should welcome private equity into their brand with open arms. It’s the natural evolution towards a mature franchise system. Once you move beyond the “emerging” phase (e.g. 0-500 units), the needs of franchisees change and institutional capital.

If you're buying a franchise that will eventually sell for 3x earnings. Make sure your initial payback is also similar. Don't pay $1M to build something that makes $200k and will be valued at $600k upon a sale. No one values what you're "into it" when you sell!.

Wild things I've seen this week in the franchise m&a world. 1) Franchisor telling a buyer they were paying too much. Totally irresponsible and potentially lawsuit worthy. They should be congratulating everyone for raising the value of their franchisees businesses. 2) Franchisor.

Have a $7M+ business for sale right now. The number of people that reach out with no where near the capital required just for the down payment is laughable. Seller financing and creative structures exists forđź’©deals. Good deals with strong brokers representing them are getting.

There is no such thing as "allowing you to speak to franchisees" when you're evaluating franchises. Contact info for franchises is listed in the back of the FDD. Pick up the phone and call whoever you want. Permission is not required. If you don't feel comfortable calling people.
