Welcome to INC RESALES
“Own your tomorrow & Franchise your future”
In the world of franchising, a resale refers to the transfer of an existing franchise business—typically when the current owner is ready to retire, relocate, or realise their investment. Unlike a start-up franchise, a resale offers a ready-built foundation: an operational business with customers, staff, and a presence in the local market.
At INC Resales, we specialise exclusively in franchise valuations, marketing, and business transfers. Our expertise is rooted in years of industry experience, working alongside many of the UK’s most successful franchise brands. Simply put, no other brokerage brings the same depth of understanding or proven track record in the franchise resale sector.
Why Choose a Franchise Resale?
Investing in a resale franchise is a smart, strategic way to enter the franchising world. You gain all the structure and ongoing support of a franchise network—alongside a trading business that already has key operational components in place, from premises and personnel to cash flow and local market presence.
For many entrepreneurs, a resale offers a lower-risk pathway into ownership, backed by performance data and existing customer relationships.

Why Do Franchise Resales Happen?
Resales are a natural part of the franchise life cycle. Long-standing franchisees may decide to exit for a range of reasons—retirement, personal change, or the desire to capitalise on their success. As a result, most mature franchise systems in the UK will have multiple resale opportunities available at any given time.
These resales bring fresh energy into the network, with new owners who are motivated to grow and build on the foundation already in place—benefiting both franchisors and fellow franchisees.
Understanding Franchise Valuation
Franchise resale valuations are typically based on a multiple of the business’s operating profit. This approach reflects the real-world performance of the company and provides a fair, transparent starting point for negotiations.
Buyers are investing in a business that someone else has already nurtured to success—complete with a team, established clients, and cash flow. While initial investments may be higher than with a start-up franchise, funding is widely available. Lenders tend to view resales positively thanks to their proven financial track records, making it easier to secure financing.
Franchise resales also include the usual franchise fees and ongoing royalties, ensuring the buyer continues to receive full support from the franchisor—just as any new franchisee would.
Resale or Start-Up: Which is Right for You?
A resale can be ideal for individuals with previous business experience or those transitioning from senior corporate roles who want a business they can further develop. It offers a balance of stability and growth potential, particularly within expanding sectors.
If you’re more interested in building something from the ground up and being hands-on during the early development phase, a start-up franchise may be a better fit.
Successful resale buyers tend to be confident leaders—able to step into an existing team, bring a clear vision, and align with the franchisor’s culture and values from day one.
With a resale, you gain the strengths of a fully functioning business alongside the structure, branding, and training support of a reputable franchise.
