5 Step Franchise Resale Program: Buying/selling a business can be a very complicated process. We simplified the process into 5 easy steps. Our role is to guide all parties through the business sale process from start to finish. We provide all parties free guest access to our patent-pending 5 STEP RESALE PROGRAM: a defined resale program used to effectively educate and efficiently communicate each step of the business sale process (eliminating surprises). Without this process, units are slow to sell or even close down and bring down the overall team. With the help of FRANCHISE CLEARLY, I assure you we will make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
