Common questions

What is a territory?

A territory is the area where a franchisor agrees not to put another unit of the same brand. Good territories are defined by population and households, not just ZIP codes. Territories do sell out, and we'll tell you only when it's true.

Can I buy more than one location?

Yes. We work with single-unit, multi-unit and area representative buyers. Multi-unit deals need more capital and a plan to hire managers, and we'll show you what that looks like before you commit.

Where are you based, and do you work outside your area?

We're based in Austin, TX, and we work with buyers across the US by phone and video. Territory availability depends on the brand, so we check your market first.
