04 Oct Franchise List (M to Z)
From the upcoming 2013 Business Reference Guide, we have listed franchises with a “quick” rule of thumb, or range, usually expressed as a percentage of sales. For many of them we have based it on quite a few actual sales; others may have been based on just a few; and, in some cases, just one where we felt it was appropriate. They can be a good starting point for pricing the business.
A number in parentheses indicates a note at the end of the list.

(14) 1 – 4 times SDC plus hard assets. The number between 1 – 4 depends on several factors such as the owner operating a truck, etc.
(15) Pizza factory has approximately140 units in the 10 Western States.
(16) Two sales in the Western states were reported at 99% of sales and another at 65% of sales. However, two sales in the lower Midwest were reported at 38% and 40%. One sale in New York was reported at 48% of annual sales, another in Massachusetts at 51% and one in Nevada at 45%.
(17) One sale was reported at 70% of sales.
(18) “As a former multi-unit Subway franchisee and a Development Agent, now a business broker Subway stores, there are many different formulas I have seen. 30 to 40 weeks sales, or 60 to 70% of sales is a popular one. Actual sales price depends on supply and demand and is closer to 70% of sales in So. CA.”
“On stores with gross sales of $300,000 to $500,000, multiple of 40% of annual sales. On stores with sales of $500,000+, multiple of 50% of annual sales. Franchisor would like 30% as a down payment on resales.”
“I would suggest for Subway, in New England and maybe all of New England, due to the high number of pizza restaurants, Subways tend to sell for a much lower of percentage of sales than 47% — sometimes as low as 20 – 25%.”
(19) Price does not include cost of vehicles, and revenues do not include auto sales.
