QSR specialist
Finn Franchise Brokers
QSR Specialist
Hi, I'm Samantha Roach,
I am a SME retail and franchising expert. I have over 10 years of experience as a Business Owner at Subway and Dymocks, both of which I sold using business brokers to ensure a streamlined / effective sale. I sold my successful Subway business, Subway Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre in Geelong, Victoria, in January 2026 after 6.5 years.
As a hands-on Store Manager/Business Owner, I achieved double digit growth year on year over the last 5 years by developing key relationships with Subway Head Office, Suppliers, Customers and Centre Management/Landlord.
Store remodels, leasing negotiations, through to stock management prior to the sale - I am across it all.
I understand the entire business sale process and how to achieve your desired result.
I can help you in two ways:
Firstly, if you'd like to sell your business, I can find buyers for you. Quickly and easily.
Secondly, I can help you understand the value of your business and gauge the current market performance.
Just reach out and we can have a quick chat.
I can support you every step of the way from listing to achieving a successful sale.
It will be my pleasure to share some knowledge with you.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
“I liked the process. Very easy"
Janice, Retail Business Owner
Selling your business far more complicated than most people understand, you must use the experts, don’t try and do it yourself, and don’t risk it with a general business broker that doesn’t live and breath franchising like we do.
1. Setting Your Price Range
Knowing how to set your price range is a complex task in itself. Our expert knowledge in this field will ensure we market your business at the best possible price that will be accepted by buyers, banks, and accountants.
2. Buyer Approval
We are in contact with franchise companies on a daily basis and know what your franchisor will need to see to approve your buyer
We will create a customised Due Diligence Package, the foundation to the marketing of your business. This document markets your business to potential buyers while acting as a business tool which can be taken to the buyer’s accountant for due diligence and bank for finance.
We will administer the advertising of your business for sale, this will be achieved via Internet, Database, and Printed Media.
3. Due Diligence Package
4. Advertising
We will screen all enquirers to determine their suitability and financial capacity to purchase.
5. Enquirers
Before we hand over your confidential business information, the buyer will complete a confidentiality agreement, and need to qualify that they can afford to purchase your business.
6. Potential Buyers
7. Franchisor meeting
We will arrange for the applicant to meet with the franchisor, and get an understanding of how a typical business operates within your brand.
Together we will achieve a strong and fair price for your business. Our expert brokers have the skills to keep the buyer on-side, and still have them pay their maximum price for your business.
8. Negotiate the sale
9. Accountant
We have a strong relationships with accountants who are ‘franchise friendly’. We will refer your buyer so they are more likely to get positive feedback.
When left alone, buyers often fail in getting finance. We will take control, prepare their supporting documents, and show them the best way to get finance to purchase your business.
10. Finance
The franchisor has the right to knock-back your buyer. We know what is required to get your buyer approved and in fact we have a 99.4% success-rate of buyers that are put forward and are approved.
We will refer your prospective buyer to our close network of franchise-friendly solicitors. This will help protect the deal from solicitors that have a negative view to franchise terms and conditions.
