Strategic Growth. Thoughtful Transitions. Value Realized.

At Management 2000℠, our mission has always been to help franchisors and franchisees build businesses of enduring value. For over 40 years, we’ve advised more than 1,600 brands, guiding them through complex strategic decisions—from development to execution—with clarity, candor, and proven results.

Now, as the franchising landscape matures and more entrepreneurs look to buy, sell, or scale through acquisition, we’ve expanded our services to support one of the most pivotal moments in a business lifecycle: a successful sale or transition.

M&A Advisory for Franchisors

Whether you’re evaluating a full brand sale, spinning off corporate-owned units, or considering private equity investment, Management 2000 brings a strategic lens to M&A. We help you:

• Define and articulate enterprise value
• Prepare your systems, processes, and teams for due diligence
• Identify qualified buyers or investors aligned with your brand’s vision
• Negotiate deal structures that protect your legacy and ensure continuity

Our approach is not transactional—it’s transformational. We don’t just help you sell. We help you grow through the right deal, at the right time, for the right reasons.

Multi-Unit Franchisee Resales

If you’re a multi-unit franchisee ready to sell, consolidate, or transition your holdings, our team can help position your business for maximum value and a smooth exit. We understand franchise resale from both sides of the table—because we’ve sat there ourselves.

We support franchisees by:

• Providing confidential valuations tailored to franchised operations
• Crafting a resale strategy that respects franchisor relationships
• Connecting you with serious, qualified buyers—individuals, family offices, and private equity firms
• Managing the entire sale process, from listing to closing
