Franchise Businesses

Franchise businesses are uniquely positioned in the marketplace—offering brand recognition, operational support, and proven systems. But when it comes to determining value, franchises require a different approach than independent businesses. At Strong Tower Valuations, we deliver certified franchise valuations that account for your franchisor relationship, territory rights, and business performance—helping you plan strategically and confidently.

Why Franchise Valuations Are Different

Unlike independent businesses, franchise owners operate under the terms of a franchise agreement. That means royalties, branding rights, transfer restrictions, and corporate oversight all play a role in determining value. Our team evaluates both the local financial performance of your franchise unit(s) and the broader brand environment—ensuring a comprehensive, defensible valuation.

Key Drivers in Franchise Business Valuations

• Franchise agreement terms (transferability, renewals, restrictions)
• Royalty fees, advertising fund contributions, and other ongoing costs
• Territory size, exclusivity, and performance potential
• Comparative performance to systemwide benchmarks
• Brand strength, litigation history, and franchisee satisfaction
• Lease agreements and buildout commitments
• Owner compensation, benefits, and personal involvement
