FAQs Frequently Asked Questions
The best franchise for you is one that aligns with your personal values, culture, skills, and working style. Success in franchising isn't just about choosing the most popular or profitable brand — it's about finding the right fit. The most successful franchisees typically choose a business that matches their culture, values and workstyle.
To help you make an informed choice, take the Hattch Compatibility Assessment. It’s a quick and effective tool that matches you with franchises based on your unique profile — providing a compatibility score for each brand. This helps you narrow your options and focus on franchises where you're most likely to succeed.
Buying a franchise is typically funded by combining your savings with property equity you have, and financing the balance through a lender.
In addition to your savings and equity, banks can lend against the future cash flows of the business. This typically can be approximately 50% of the total investment required. Each one of our listings has a calculator for you to see if you can afford that franchise or business for sale.
Building a strong business plan is a crucial step when buying a franchise or business for sale. It helps you clarify your goals, secure finance, and map out how the business will operate and grow.
A typical business plan should include:
- Executive Summary – A snapshot of your business and goals
- Business Description – What the business does and its market position
- Products/Services – What you’re offering and how it meets customer needs
- Market Analysis – Target market, competition, and growth opportunities
- Operations Plan – Daily operations, staffing, suppliers, and systems
- Marketing Strategy – How you’ll attract and retain customers
- Financial Forecasts – Budgets, cash flow projections, and funding needs
A well-prepared business plan also strengthens your case when applying for finance through banks or finance brokers.
Financing a franchise or business for sale can be achieved through a variety of options, including bank loans, franchisor-provided finance, personal loans, home equity loans, or rolling over retirement funds. Many buyers also work with franchise finance brokers who can help identify the most suitable lending solutions and streamline the application process. Lenders will generally assess your credit profile, business plan, available security, and the reputation of the franchise or business you’re purchasing.
Before buying a franchise or business for sale in Australia, it's essential to seek legal advice from a lawyer who specialises in franchising and is familiar with the Franchising Code of Conduct. This code is a mandatory industry regulation overseen by the ACCC and outlines the rights and responsibilities of both franchisors and franchisees.
A qualified franchise lawyer can help you:
- Review the Franchise Disclosure Document and Franchise Agreement
- Identify any unfair contract terms or risks
- Ensure you understand your obligations and exit options
- Clarify any ongoing fees, marketing contributions, and renewal terms
