Listing your business for sale is a big decision. You’ve worked for years to build what may be your largest financial asset. You can’t afford to make a mistake at this point. Let us help.
We’re not like other brokers.
While other brokers may be part of a larger group, they mostly are on their own. That means they are the only ones that will qualify your business for sale, including writing the marketing materials, putting it on the website, fielding calls from buyers, working with banks, talking to landlords, and literally hundreds of more details. It’s a lot of work for one person, and it’s nearly impossible to be an expert at every task.
We’re specialized
When you list with Franchise Clearly, you’ll work with many people all pulling in the same direction to get your business sold. Each team member is responsible for a task and is the best in the world at it. Your journey might begin with Jon. He’ll talk to you about your motivations for selling, the valuation, and setting expectations. Charles and his team will get to work looking through our database of hundreds of buyers. Once filtered, he’ll talk to them individually and see which ones need to move to a discovery call phase. Once you select your buyer and come to terms, Brandt and his team will make sure the financing moves forward and tracks the due diligence process.
We’re Transparent
Selling a business is a complicated transaction with big dollars at stake. As a seller, you’ll have access to our internal software systems to know what stage your deal is at all times. You’ll see what offers you have, names of buyers, and where they are in the process. The software streamlines communication and allow us to move fast. We call it FranClear, and no other company has it.

SAVE MONEY
Our program is designed to reach more buyers; maximizing the sale price. There are two networks of buyers: the franchisor network and the broker network. The Franchise Clearly Network™ strategically connects all buyer networks: motivating all buyers and negotiating the best price/terms for the seller.
SAVE TIME
We streamlined the sale process (reducing the business sale life cycle); reducing time-consuming/unnecessary tasks; matching buyers and sellers in a shorter period of time and producing a quicker sale. We are able to show sellers in real-time the number of qualified buyers that match the seller’s criteria.
REDUCE STRESS
Our program is designed to eliminate unqualified buyers up front; reducing headaches for sellers. Before we can qualify a buyer, we need to know what all the requirements are (from seller, landlord, lender, franchisor). Our program collects all requirements up front so we do not waste time with unqualified buyers.
As a registered buyer with Franchise Clearly, you’ll get your own profile using our secure cloud-based software tool called FranClear. The best part? It’s offered at no charge.
