What, if any, are the requirements to franchise a restaurant?

Have one restaurant currently.

It depends on what restaurant you want to franchise. But typically, franchisors are looking for the following potential candidates:

- Availability and potential to receive capital – some franchisors provide loans to their franchisees

- Experience in running a restaurant – all wants prior experience, while some wants experience in running multiple restaurants. They want to make sure that the franchisee can make money for them, and one way is to ensure that the person knows the business

- Overall fit with their company – an increasing number of franchisors are looking at whether the applicant shares the same business philosophy as them
