Exit Factor is a business consulting franchise that helps entrepreneurs increase the value of their companies before selling or transitioning ownership. Founded in 2021 by business brokerage expert Jessica Fialkovich, Exit Factor is based in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The company began franchising in 2023 and is part of the United Franchise Group’s Starpoint Brands division. The franchise delivers professional coaching services that focus on profitability, operational efficiency, and overall business valuation.
Franchisees, known as Value Advisors, guide clients through customized strategies that strengthen their businesses and prepare them for a successful exit. On average, businesses using Exit Factor’s systems have reported a 25% profit increase and a 56.7% rise in business value.
What makes Exit Factor unique is its exclusive focus on exit planning. Unlike many consultants that prioritize growth alone, Exit Factor offers a full suite of services designed specifically to prepare businesses for ownership transition.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Exit Factor provides franchisees with a structured and multi-phase training program designed to ensure operational consistency and quality across all its franchise locations. The training offerings include:
Exit Factor offers franchisees a form of territory protection through the assignment of an exclusive "Designated Marketing Area." This geographic territory is defined and named by the franchisor and must contain at least 8,000 registered businesses.
While franchisees are expected to confine their business activities, including marketing and promotional efforts, within this area, they may accept unsolicited clients from outside the territory.
The protection granted by Exit Factor is contingent on performance. Specifically, the franchisee must acquire at least one client within their Designated Marketing Area during each 12-month period after the first year of operation.
