Graham Stephen & Jim McLaughlin : Independent Valuations in Franchise Networks

About this Event

WHAT IS YOUR FRANCHISE REALLY WORTH AND WHAT COULD IT BE WORTH?

Franchisors and Franchisees should be thinking about developing their businesses as a capital asset that can be sold at some point for an attractive amount of money. But how can you work out what your franchise is really worth (and think forward to what it could be worth with a bit of extra work maybe?).

Join us on Friday 6^th March 1pm-2pm for a practical session at The Franchise Company First Friday’s event to explore why independent valuations are essential across modern franchise networks.

Our guests for this event are Graham Stephen and Jim McLaughlin from bizvalglobal.com who will take us through an informative session looking at a range of challenges from funding and resale pricing to buy-ins, disputes and exits.

They will unpack the common pitfalls franchisors and franchisees face — unrealistic multiples, lender pushback, and conflicts of interest and share real-world examples where objective, defensible valuations unlocked cleaner transactions and stronger outcomes.

Bizval’s human-led, tech-enabled approach delivers fast, institutional-grade insight that stands up to investor, legal and bank scrutiny. If you operate, advise or invest in franchises, this is a practical session on protecting value and making better decisions.
