In this episode, I had the pleasure of discussing the intricacies of acquiring and operating a franchise operation with Ruth Brown, COO of Home Instead, and Mahdi Kaz, a multi-unit franchise owner within the Home Instead network.  We cover a lot of ground in the episode including: Common misconceptions of the franchise model, The resale and acquisition opportunities, The benefits franchising offers, especially in sectors like healthcare and social care, The importance of partnership between franchisor and franchisee within the Home Instead model, and finally Mahdi shares his personal journey of transitioning from a career in engineering to becoming a multi-unit franchise owner with Home Instead.  We hope you enjoy this informative area exploring another area in the acquisition space. ----- Finally, the second Buy and Build Accelerator has been announced and is scheduled for the 7th of June 2024.  So, If you're struggling with deal flow, structuring deals, or raising funds, this one is for you.  Check out the Buy and Build Accelerator to learn more.
