January A Big Month For Franchise Resales in California

January is a big month for franchise resales in California. Much of the activity is from people who are leaving corporate America to own their own business. Buying an existing franchise can save time and money over buying a new franchise.

California business broker Sushma Rao talked about her experience buying an existing franchise. She is selling a printer ink refills business in San Diego.

"If I were to do it again, I'd find something that was established. When you start from scratch there is so much you have never done before. An established franchise has a reputation, clients, and the little glitches are solved for you."

Read the press release about this business for sale and California businesses already sold.
