    Acquiring franchise network

    Nothing ever happened. He scoffed at my offer, and as far as I know he still has not sold the business. Perhaps he'll change his mind one day and lower the price to a more realistic value, but I'm not holding my breath. Either way, there are lots of competitors from the US opening up here (I'm...

    Acquiring franchise network

    Just an update - I met with the owner and his accountant today. He gave me a whole spiel on how the business is undervalued at $850K, and that it's a great opportunity "if you can grow it".

    Acquiring franchise network

    Hi folks, I have an opportunity to acquire a small franchise network with 11 franchisees. The franchisees provide non-medical home healthcare services (like staffing sitters and nurses for older and disabled people), and there are no franchise locations owned by the network. The owner of the...

    Lease to own

    Hi everyone, Long time lurker here, and I'm looking for some feedback on an idea I have on the go. I got a line on a significant number of very reasonably priced, brand-new HP priced laptops (about half price compared to retail) on closeout (totally legit - this wasn't from the back of a...
