When you expand beyond a single franchise location, the complexity of operations begins to increase at a rapid rate. The highest performers know that the best way to manage multiple locations is to view the whole franchise operation from the top down. Centralising not only inventory, financials and payroll/HR, but also all of your organizational data gives you more control and precise insight into how you’re doing.

Tech tools make this management much easier, giving you a bird’s eye view of the whole operation, while retaining the ability to drill down into individual locations and tweak your processes depending on business in each branch. Sage Intacct, an award-winning financial management solution with the ability to integrate with modules that cover every aspect of your organization. 

Join The Answer Company’s Founder and President, Shawn Ostheimer to learn more about how this Best-of-Breed solution can take you to the next level with your franchise operation.

Whether franchise brands are looking for growth and expansion, cash for buy-out’s, or liquidity for shareholders and management, private equity is increasingly becoming an alternative for capital gain, and resources in the form of vendor relationships and support teams.

Forming an equity partner relationship can have a dramatic impact on the long-term potential of a business and can be a complex one that only continues to pick up steam in the industry. As more and more franchisors explore private equity investments as a growth vehicle, it’s worthwhile to explore what these relationships actually entail.

Get clarity on this equity partnership during the CFA’s Growth and Exit Strategies seminar on October 28, 2021!
