Introduction to Mergers and Acquisitions of Franchise Companies
September 2015
The M&A Breakfast Series
Introduction to Mergers and Acquisitions of Franchise Companies
Co-sponsored by the M&A Subsection of the CBA Business Law Section
Program Description:
The issues that arise in merger and acquisition transactions can be complex and challenging. These issues can stem from many sources, but what if the company being acquired is a franchise company? Treating the acquisition of a franchise company in the same manner as other acquisitions can lead to significant and costly problems. This program will introduce you to some of the unique issues, risks and considerations related to the acquisition of a franchise company. For example, it is important to understand how the franchise laws impact the operation of the franchise company's business (both pre and post-closing) and the value of the franchise company's assets. Additionally, the due diligence investigation of a franchise company is very different than the typical due diligence process. Lastly, it is necessary to fully understand the vital role the franchisees play in the company being acquired and the potential difficulties that might be encountered with the franchisees before or after closing. Overall, when the unique challenges of a merger or acquisition of a franchise company are well understood, it is much easier to avoid significant and costly problems.
