I want to buy a fast food franchise resale. I’m not in a position to buy the likes of a McDonald's

Although I’m not in a position to buy the likes of a  McDonalds or  Taco Bell franchise resale,   I do have over 10 years in fast food General Manager for a KFC franchise and decent credit.  I will never be able to borrow the amount I need to open a new fast food franchise.   Do franchisees that are selling their restaurants ever “finance by owner”?  

In my experience I have had sellers finance part of the purchase price. Each situation is different.  If you have the experience and bring the proper operating capital,  as well as a substantial down payment,   I think you are off to a great start. Get with a broker that will assist you in seeking out an ideally suited option.
