Franchise brokers—who also refer to themselves as “business coaches,”“advisors,”“referral sources,” or “sales consultants”—help people who want to buy a franchise. They often advertise on the Internet and in business magazines. They will help you select among various franchise options.Typically, a broker reviews the amount of money you have to invest as well as your background and business experiences, then directs you to opportunities that match your interests and resources. A broker also may help you complete applications and the paperwork to consummate the sale. Remember that franchise brokers often work for franchisors, and get paid only if a sale is completed.
