About Us

Franchies is a platform created by the team at Alepin Gauthier Avocats et Notaires, which has been involved in franchising since 1978. We know franchising. Our goal is to democratize the process of buying existing franchises and make it accessible to everyone, not just the elite who already own franchises.

Franchies benefits from the vision of Me François Alepin, listed in Best Lawyers in Canada for his franchise work for over 10 years, and Me Chanel Alepin, Certified Franchise Executive (CFE), as well as the entire Alepin Gauthier team, who specialize in franchising and business transfer.

The Franchies team includes:

  • Lawyers from Alepin Gauthier Avocats et Notaries for franchise training and legal services at discounted rates, if desired.
  • Brokers from the Alepin Gauthier agency for business sales and franchise matchmaking.
  • A dynamic marketing team that participates in franchise events to feed our database of sellers and buyers of existing franchises.
  • Evaluation experts who guide you in determining the right price.

Ready-to-Go Solutions

We offer several free training modules, accessible to all our users, enabling you to ask the right questions when purchasing an operational franchise.

Confidentiality

We do not publicly list franchises for sale in order to protect the value of the business and the network. We focus on personalized matchmaking.

How It Works

Franchies offers a confidential and personalized sales service, backed by a team with experience in franchising. Franchisees can join our confidential database for a monthly subscription. A 5% commission on the sale price is applied only if the sale is successfully completed. The Franchies team has developed a specialized confidentiality agreement, taking into account the specificities of franchising. Signing this agreement is essential to meet a franchise seller, ensuring a secure and discreet sales process.

It’s free. Franchies offers an opportunity to buy active franchises with no registration fees. Buyers have access to financial data and information directly from the franchisees. Access to franchise training is also completely free. Buying an operational franchise is a more prudent choice compared to starting a new location without a track record.

The platform ensures the respect of best franchise sales practices while maintaining confidentiality to protect the network’s image. Buyers respond to a questionnaire that highlights information relevant for your subsequent qualification. Franchise sellers are made aware of best sales practices and must inform you of their process. We can help your franchisees realize the full value of their business while ensuring the continuity of the franchise within your network.

FAQ

Why don’t you publicly list franchises for sale?

Public listings can create risks for employees, clients, the franchise network, and the franchisor. Confidentiality protects these relationships while avoiding uncertainties related to a potential sale. We prioritize personalized matchmaking.

How do you ensure confidentiality throughout the process?

A solid confidentiality agreement is signed at the beginning of the process.

Can franchisors refer their franchisees without issues?

Yes. Franchies is designed to work in compliance with franchisors’ expectations and industry standards. Our independent model allows franchisees to receive necessary support while respecting the network’s rules and standards.

How can potential buyers be sure they are asking the right questions during a transaction?

We offer free training to potential buyers, guiding them through the right questions to ask and the critical aspects to evaluate before finalizing a transaction. This helps them make informed decisions with peace of mind.

How are the information provided by franchise sellers verified?

The data is provided directly by the franchisees. While we do not verify this information, we emphasize transparency and buyer education to help them perform their own checks and due diligence.
