Exit Factor

We’re seeking a master licensee to establish Exit Factor across New Zealand. This exclusive opportunity grants you the right to recruit, train, and support franchisees throughout European markets. You’ll serve a large population of SME owners who are aging and facing succession decisions without professional guidance or planning infrastructure.

New Zealand’s economy is built on small business. The country has over 530,000 SMEs. Small business owners are the backbone of the economy. Many are now reaching the succession phase. Unlike larger economies, New Zealand lacks well-developed exit planning and business valuation infrastructure. This creates a significant opportunity for Exit Factor and a strong demand for what you’ll provide.

About Exit Factor

Exit Factor is part of United Franchise Group’s Business Consulting Division. UFG operates 1,600+ franchise locations across 60+ countries with 35+ years of franchise experience. The business consulting sector in New Zealand is growing. Business owners increasingly seek professional guidance on valuation, growth, and strategic planning. Exit Factor addresses a market gap that’s critical and expanding.

Exit Factor delivers strategic exit planning, business valuation, value enhancement strategies, and succession planning. The franchise delivers results: clients see 25% profit increase, 56.7% value increase in the first year, and 100% success rate for those who proceed to sell. The franchise was recognized in Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2025 Top New & Emerging Franchises.

The Master License opportunity

As master licensee, you own exclusive rights to Exit Factor throughout New Zealand. You recruit and train franchisees, provide ongoing support, manage quality and compliance, and develop the network. Your revenue comes from franchise fees, ongoing royalties, and support services. Your franchisees handle client work. You focus on recruitment, training, and network development.

This model scales well in New Zealand because the market is concentrated enough that one licensee can develop relationships and recruit quality franchisees, yet large enough to support a substantial network. As your franchisee network grows and matures, your revenue increases with minimal incremental effort.

The New Zealand opportunity

New Zealand is an ideal market for Exit Factor. The nation’s economy is SME-driven. Business owners are typically hands-on, hardworking, and results-focused. They understand that business succession is inevitable and important. Many are now aging and facing the reality that they need a plan.

What’s different about New Zealand is the lack of exit planning infrastructure. Unlike larger economies with mature business brokerage, valuation, and consulting markets, New Zealand has limited resources for business owners seeking succession guidance. This creates an opening. Exit Factor becomes a critical partner for business owners who otherwise have few options.
