Effective date: October 30, 2026
1. Agreement to these terms
These Terms of Use govern your use of franchisesellers.com, its subdomains, and the forms, downloads and content we provide through them (the “Site”). The Site is operated by Franchise Sellers, Ltd. (“Franchise Sellers”, “we”, “us”). By using the Site you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
If you sign an engagement agreement, listing agreement, non-disclosure agreement or toolkit agreement with us, that agreement governs the services it covers. Where it conflicts with these terms, the signed agreement prevails.
2. What we do
Franchise Sellers provides franchise resale brokerage, business valuation services and a self-service “Sell a Franchise” toolkit, bringing owners of existing franchise businesses together with qualified buyers, and helps buyers explore new franchise opportunities. The Site describes those services and lets you contact us, register as a buyer, request an Opinion of Value, and download guides. Nothing on the Site is an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any particular business until a written agreement is signed by the parties to that transaction.
United States businesses. We represent businesses located in the United States. Buyers who live outside the United States may need to meet the franchisor’s requirements and United States immigration rules to acquire a business, which are matters for the buyer and their own advisers.
3. Listing information comes from sellers and is not independently verified
Information about businesses for sale, including financial figures, asking prices, lease terms, staffing, franchise terms and photographs, is supplied by the seller or the franchisor. We pass it on in good faith but we do not audit or independently verify it, and we make no representation or warranty about its accuracy or completeness. Listings may contain errors or omissions, and prices, terms and availability may change or be withdrawn without notice.
Before buying any business you must conduct your own investigation and due diligence, including a review of the financial records, the lease, the franchise agreement and the franchise disclosure document, with the help of your own attorney, accountant and other advisers. You rely on listing information at your own risk.
4. No legal, tax, financial or investment advice
The Site’s articles, guides, valuation descriptions, market reports and other content are general information for education and marketing. They are not legal, tax, accounting, investment or financial advice, and they do not take account of your circumstances. Consult your own professional advisers before acting on anything you read here.
An Opinion of Value or summary valuation we provide is an estimate of market value for the purpose of marketing a business. It is not a formal appraisal unless we expressly engage to provide one, and it is not a guarantee of any sale price. Detailed and comprehensive valuation reports are prepared to USPAP standards by credentialed appraisers under a separate engagement.
5. Franchise purchases
Buying a franchise, new or existing, is governed by the franchisor’s Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) and franchise agreement. For an existing franchise the franchisor normally must approve the buyer and may require training, transfer fees and a new or assigned franchise agreement, all of which are outside our control. We are not the franchisor. We do not make, and you should not rely on, any representation about the actual or potential revenue, profit or earnings of a franchise business other than the seller’s records you review in due diligence and what appears in the franchisor’s FDD.
6. Confidentiality and buyer registration
We treat every seller’s information as confidential unless the seller tells us otherwise; a public advertisement shows only what the seller has approved, and where a preference is unknown we share less rather than more. Confidential information about a business for sale, including its name, location, owner and financial records, is released only to registered buyers who have completed registration, signed our non-disclosure agreement and met any qualification the seller requires (for example a minimum of available capital or relevant experience), and only as the seller permits. By registering as a buyer you confirm that the information you give us, including your available capital, is accurate, and you agree to use anything you receive solely to evaluate the purchase, to keep it confidential, and to return or destroy it when your evaluation ends, as the non-disclosure agreement provides. Contacting a seller, its staff, landlord, franchisor, customers or suppliers directly without our written permission is prohibited.
Sellers who send us information about their business through the Site confirm they are entitled to share it and that it is true to the best of their knowledge.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to: copy, scrape or systematically collect listings or other content; use the Site to identify or contact sellers outside our process; submit false information or impersonate anyone; interfere with the Site’s operation or security; upload malicious code; or use the Site for any unlawful purpose. We may suspend access and refuse service to anyone who breaks these rules.
8. Intellectual property
The Site and its content, including text, graphics, logos, reports, guides, videos and the “Sell a Franchise” toolkit materials, belong to Franchise Sellers or our licensors and are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may view, download and print pages for your own personal or internal business use in connection with evaluating our services or a business for sale. Any other use, including republishing, selling or distributing our content or using our name or logo, requires our written permission. Franchise brand names and logos shown on the Site belong to their respective owners and appear only to identify the businesses described.
9. Communications
By submitting a form you agree that we may contact you by email or phone about your enquiry. Marketing communications are governed by our Privacy Policy and you can opt out at any time. If you provide a mobile number and check the consent box, you agree to receive text messages from us about your registration, the non-disclosure agreement and the listings you asked about. Reply STOP to opt out at any time or HELP for help; message and data rates may apply; consent is not a condition of doing business with us; we do not share mobile numbers with third parties for their marketing.
10. Third-party sites, marketplaces and tools
The Site links to third-party sites, including franchisor sites, business-for-sale marketplaces and the tools we use for forms and documents. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability or practices. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.
11. Past results and testimonials
“Recently sold” listings, case studies and testimonials describe past transactions and the experience of particular clients. They are not a promise that your business will sell, sell within any period, or sell at any price. Every transaction depends on the business, the market and the buyer.
12. Disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability
The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and we do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Franchise Sellers and its owners, officers, employees, agents and advisers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages, or for any loss of profit, business, data or opportunity, arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content, even if advised of the possibility. These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, and nothing here limits the terms of a signed engagement agreement.
You agree to indemnify Franchise Sellers against claims, losses and expenses arising from your breach of these terms or your misuse of information received through the Site.
13. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.
14. General
We may change these terms at any time by posting the new version with a new effective date; your continued use of the Site after a change means you accept it. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Site, subject to any signed agreement as described in section 1.
