This annual event will update franchisors, multi-unit franchisees and their owners on the state of the market, and educate them on the right things they can do now and in the future to ensure that they are in the best position to maximize the value of their business and take advantage of the opportunities presented by one or more of these growth and exit strategies.  It is also designed to create a space to connect directly with Canadian and American  potential investors and buyers, and for them to connect to the franchise community.

Creating a growth and/or an exit strategy, usually through the sale of the business for the greatest amount possible, should be something every owner considers now and as they grow. The last decade has seen an increased interest in franchise companies, leading to sales of businesses to private equity groups at pre-pandemic multiples of EBITDA, typically only seen when a company goes public.

The decisions and actions taken by a franchisor early on and during their growth can impact the kind of multiple they can expect a decade later. This event is a time-effective and powerful opportunity to hear from others who have been through the process and learn from their experiences, as well as build contacts for the future.

Make sure you can someday also be able to make the most of your efforts, and maximize the opportunities, by attending Growth and Exit Strategies 2021!
