Broker Registration Requirements

Some states require franchise brokers to register before offering or selling franchises. If you're a broker or considering becoming one, check your state's requirements.

How to Choose a Franchise Broker

1. Check Their Credentials

Look for brokers affiliated with reputable networks like FranChoice, IFPG, FranNet, or BAI. Many have certifications or long-standing relationships with franchisors.

2. Understand Their Model

Most brokers are free to buyers—they earn commissions from franchisors when you purchase a franchise. Ask which brands they represent and how they're compensated.

3. Match Their Specialty

Some brokers specialize in semi-absentee models, multi-unit development, or specific industries. Choose one aligned with your goals and investment level.

4. Verify State Registration

In NY, WA, and soon CA, brokers must be registered. Ask for proof of registration and check your state's requirements before working with any broker.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a franchise broker do?

Franchise brokers (also called consultants or advisors) help match prospective franchisees with suitable franchise opportunities. They assess your goals, budget, and skills, then recommend brands from their network. Brokers are typically paid by franchisors, not buyers.

Is working with a franchise broker free?

Yes for buyers. Franchise brokers earn commissions from franchisors when they successfully refer a franchisee who purchases a franchise. This means you get expert guidance at no cost to you.

How do franchise brokers get paid?

Brokers typically earn a percentage of the franchise fee (often 40-60%) when you sign a franchise agreement. This is paid by the franchisor, not the franchisee. Ensure the broker discloses which brands they represent.

Do I need to use a franchise broker?

No, you can research and contact franchisors directly. However, brokers can save time, provide industry insights, help you avoid red flags, and sometimes access special incentives or territories not available to direct buyers.

What's the difference between a franchise broker and a business broker?

Franchise brokers connect buyers with new franchise opportunities from franchisors. Business brokers help people buy or sell existing businesses (including existing franchise units). Some professionals do both, but they serve different markets.
