Submitting Your Franchise Details for Listing


Please read Getting Listed for details relating to membership and enhancing your listing. New submissions qualify for receiving up to eight enquiries from this listing on a Trial Membership basis.

We do not list existing, operating and trading businesses on this site. In other words you need to be offering a franchised model or business opportunity plan for new and to be established startups as that is what prospective buyers are expecting to find. Franchisors do not list their resales (outlets that are already pre-owned and existing) at this site. Those existing offerings can be listed at our sister site: BizForSale.co.za which is for established "used businesses" with a trading record.

IMPORTANT: We recommend that you print this page and then fill out the submission form manually before returning to this site to complete this form online. You should also have read and understood the Terms and Conditions of Listing (Getting Listed) before completing and submitting this form.

[*]
Use this area to provide details that the buyers would need to know to encourage a direct contact with yourselves. If the franchise is "clicked" from a summary listing (resulting from a search) then full details are displayed, including this field.

  PRICE and COSTS  


Upfront Capital:
[*]
Numeric Input only !   No spaces, punctuation or currency symbols
    (ie. 135000 and not R 135 000 or 135 000,00)
Almost all franchisors require an upfront payment which is considered the minimum investment required to secure a franchise. There may be other payment requirements later. If different financial options are offered, then this should be either the lowest investment package, or a typical amount.
Typically, this payment amount would include the franchise fee, shopfitting and setup costs and working capital. In other words, the amount of cash the franchisee needs to get the business running to the point where positive cashflow returns are generated.
If you withhold the investment information (which you are obviously entitled to do) then your entry will nearly always be the last presented in a listing due to the ordering of results by amount. Rather quote a rough amount and make note of the fact in the following Financial Info field.

Financial Information:
[#]
Information supplemental to the Upfront Capital. If disclosed, typical details in this text field might include;
  -   minimum operating capital
  -   royalties and/or management fees
  -   advertising and marketing fees
You might also want to itemise the elements of the "Upfront Capital Required" so that the purchaser can understand that you are quoting only the franchising fee, or else you are including a provision for stock purchases and working capital. Disclose as much as you are comfortable with here.
If the franchise area or physical locations have different financial implications for franchisees, then this could be mentioned.

 

  FRANCHISE AVAILABILITY BY AREA  


Typical location availability statements would include the following:
  • Availability unrestricted within South Africa and the Southern African states.
  • Franchises available in South Africa only.
  • Master franchises available for many countries worldwide.
