I'm in the due diligence and underwriting phases of becoming a franchisee. I'm considering several different industries but know that each of the concepts will, at some point, have a real estate component that I would like to incorporate/bifurcate into the underwriting. I am looking for an analyst who can read an FDD, in its entirety, and be able to: 1. Determine the viability of the franchise concept 2. Compare to other similar franchise concepts 3. Provide insight into the financial modeling of the concept. 4. Incorporate the real estate development, valuation and sale within the model. Ultimately, I'm looking for an on-going analyst who has experience with franchise business investing/operations and real estate modeling. Thank you
