Tips for Accounting Cost of Goods and Labor Into A Franchise Sale

As a franchisee, David Ostrowe operates multiple locations for Burger King, Taco Bell, and Blaze Pizza. His organization operates three franchise companies: Blazing Partners, 180 Business Solutions, and O&M Restaurant Group. However he worked on the corporate side of franchising for Church’s and Taco Bell for years. 

One of the business skills Ostrowe has developed over his career is buying and selling franchise units. It takes knowledge and experience to know how to decide when to sell, what the units are worth, where the franchisor stands, and a multitude of other factors that can affect the maximization of profit when selling.
