One process for every unit
Every resale follows the same steps: appraisal, information memorandum, confidential marketing, buyer qualification against your approval criteria, and settlement. Franchisees know what to expect and so do you.

Franchise resale programmes for franchisors
A structured resale programme keeps your network healthy, gives franchisees a clear way out, and lets your development team concentrate on new units.
We understand franchising from the inside. Our brokers work with franchise networks across New Zealand, and we know that a resale done well strengthens the system rather than disrupting it.
Why a formal resale programme matters
A healthy network needs new energy coming in and a dignified way for existing franchisees to exit. A structured resale programme makes the handover from one franchisee to the next predictable, so the unit comes out stronger on the other side.
It also gives your franchisees confidence. When owners know there is a clear exit process, they manage their units for long-term value and keep growing, which means more royalty revenue for you along the way.
Franchisors sell the idea of being in business for yourself, not by yourself. A resale programme is proof of that promise. Prospective franchisees weigh it when they compare systems, because every franchisee will eventually want to sell.
Why hand your resales to us
Letting Sell My Business NZ administer your resale programme frees your development team to focus on new unit targets rather than selling existing ones.
Less liability for the franchisor
Pricing and negotiating a franchisee's business can put the franchisor in an awkward position. With an independent broker handling the appraisal and the sale, you stay out of the middle of it.
Buyers you would choose yourself
We qualify buyers against the skills, capital and attitude your system needs before they get near your approval process, and we prepare them for training and handover.
Entrust your resale programme to us
We work with franchisors of all sizes, from systems with a handful of units to national networks. Tell us how your transfers work today and we will show you how a managed programme would run, what it costs the franchisee, and how it reports back to you.
