How does BreakThru Realty find franchisee candidates?

Through its own channels: the franchise matching questionnaire on its website, search traffic from franchise, business-for-sale and city pages across six Florida counties, buyers who contact its business brokerage division, its investor and relocation contacts who have asked to hear about business opportunities, and referrals. It does not resell purchased lead lists.

How are franchisee candidates qualified before they are introduced?

Every candidate answers the same questionnaire covering liquid capital, net worth, experience, preferred involvement, territory, number of units and timeline, and the broker reviews every answer against the franchisor’s published candidate profile. Only candidates who fit, and who consent, are introduced.

Does BreakThru Realty deliver the Franchise Disclosure Document?

The franchisor delivers its own disclosure document and runs its own discovery and approval process. Nothing on this website is an offer to sell a franchise. A franchise is offered only through the franchisor’s current Franchise Disclosure Document, which a prospective franchisee must receive at least 14 calendar days before signing a binding agreement with, or paying any money to, the franchisor or an affiliate.

When is BreakThru Realty paid for a franchisee introduction?

Under the written agreement with each participating franchisor, BreakThru Realty’s franchise compensation is earned when a candidate it introduced signs a franchise agreement with that franchisor. Candidates pay nothing for matching or introductions. If BreakThru then represents the franchisee in their lease or purchase, that second role and its compensation are disclosed in writing first.

Can BreakThru Realty recruit candidates for territories outside Florida?

BreakThru Realty recruits for Florida territories. A candidate who lives in, or wants a territory in, a state that registers franchise offerings or franchise sellers is referred to the franchisor directly, so that the franchisor’s own registered sellers handle that sale.

Franchisee Recruitment & Lead Generation in Florida

Qualified Florida candidates, introduced with their consent and handed to your own approval process

BreakThru Realty is a licensed Florida real estate brokerage that recruits franchisees for participating franchise brands and represents franchisors and franchisees in the Florida real estate behind each new unit. This page is the recruiting half: where Florida candidates come from, how they are qualified before a franchisor ever hears their name, and what BreakThru does and says between the first inquiry and the introduction.

Where Candidates Come From

BreakThru Realty’s website publishes pages for the cities, neighbourhoods and business markets across South Florida and the Treasure Coast, and the people who read them include exactly the people who buy franchises: business buyers, investors, relocating executives and residents weighing a move from employment to ownership. The franchise division markets participating brands to them through its own channels rather than a purchased lead list.

Qualification Before Introduction

A franchisor’s development team should spend its time on candidates who could actually be approved. Every candidate who comes through BreakThru answers the same questionnaire, and the broker reads every answer before anyone is introduced. A candidate whose capital, experience, timeline or territory does not fit the brand’s published profile is told so plainly and pointed at brands that do fit, rather than being passed along to be turned down later.

Matching Candidates to Brands

Most franchise candidates start with an industry they like rather than a brand. The questionnaire lets BreakThru work the other way round: from what the candidate can invest, how involved they want to be and where they want to be, to the participating brands whose own Franchise Disclosure Documents say that candidate fits. A candidate may match several participating brands, and is introduced only to the ones they choose. Matching uses the investment range the franchisor publishes in Items 5 and 7 of its disclosure document, never a projection.

The Introduction and the Franchisor’s Process

An introduction is a qualified candidate’s profile, sent with the candidate’s consent to the person the franchisor names, followed by a call if the franchisor wants one. From there the franchisor runs its own process: delivering its Franchise Disclosure Document, its discovery calls and visits, validation with existing franchisees, and its approval decision. BreakThru stays in contact with the candidate and reports status back, but it does not replace any part of the franchisor’s process, and it never presents a summary of the disclosure document as a substitute for reading it.

What a Candidate Hears From BreakThru

The franchise rules are strict about what a franchise seller may say, and they are simple to follow if they are built into the script rather than remembered on the call. A candidate hears what the brand is, what the franchisor’s own disclosure document says the investment is and where to find it, what the process is and how long it takes, and what BreakThru is paid and by whom. A candidate never hears a sales, income or profit figure, a promise of results, approval or territory, or pressure to sign before the 14-day disclosure period has run.

After Approval: Territory and Location

This is where the recruiting half hands over to the real estate half, inside the same brokerage. Once a franchisor awards a franchise, BreakThru offers the new franchisee representation in finding the site, under a separate written real estate agreement that discloses the franchise compensation BreakThru has already received. The franchisee can choose other representation. Where they choose BreakThru, site selection starts from what qualification already established about their territory, capital and timeline.

Reporting on the Pipeline

The franchisor receives a pipeline report on a fixed schedule: inquiries by territory, candidates qualified and the reasons others were not, introductions made, the status of each introduced candidate as the franchisor reports it, and approved franchisees in site selection. Candidate data belongs to the candidate and to the franchisor they were introduced to. It is not sold, not shared with other brands without the candidate’s consent, and not used for any purpose outside the introduction.

From Franchise Candidate to Signed Location

Partnership (Franchisor and BreakThru): A written franchise seller agreement: the brand, the Florida territories open, the candidate profile, the compensation and the compliance undertakings on both sides.
Brand profile (BreakThru): A brand page built only from the franchisor’s current Franchise Disclosure Document and the material the franchisor approves in writing.
Marketing (BreakThru): The opportunity marketed to prospective franchisees in Florida through search, the franchise matching questionnaire and the brokerage’s buyer and investor lists.
Qualification (BreakThru): Candidates answer the questionnaire: capital, experience, industries, involvement, territory, units and timeline. The broker reviews every one.
Introduction (BreakThru): Qualified candidates are introduced to the franchisor with their profile, and only with their consent.
Disclosure (Franchisor): The franchisor delivers its Franchise Disclosure Document and runs its discovery process. Nothing is signed or paid for at least 14 calendar days.
Approval (Franchisor): The franchisor decides whether to award a franchise. That decision is the franchisor’s alone.
Territory (Franchisee and franchisor): The territory is confirmed against the franchise agreement and the franchisor’s site criteria.
Site selection (BreakThru): Candidate sites found, toured, analysed and presented to the franchisor for approval.
Lease or purchase (BreakThru): The letter of intent, the lease or purchase contract and the franchisor’s lease rider negotiated through to signature.
Buildout and opening (Franchisee): Permits, the landlord’s work, the contractor schedule and the franchisor’s opening requirements, with BreakThru on the real estate side until the doors open.
The next location (Franchisee and BreakThru): Location two, three or ten, on the same process and with what the first one taught.

How BreakThru Realty Works Within Franchise Law

Franchise seller status	BreakThru Realty acts as a franchise seller only for participating franchisors, only under a written agreement, and is named as a franchise seller on the receipt page (Item 23) of each participating franchisor’s Franchise Disclosure Document.
Disclosure timing	Nothing on this website is an offer to sell a franchise. A franchise is offered only through the franchisor’s current Franchise Disclosure Document, which a prospective franchisee must receive at least 14 calendar days before signing a binding agreement with, or paying any money to, the franchisor or an affiliate. The franchisor delivers the document. BreakThru never shortens that period, and never asks a candidate to sign or pay before it has run.
Earnings claims	BreakThru Realty makes no representation about the sales, income or profit of any franchise. If a franchisor makes financial performance representations, they are in Item 19 of its Franchise Disclosure Document, and that is the only place a candidate should read them.
Florida	Before BreakThru presents a brand, the franchisor confirms in writing that its annual franchise exemption notice under section 559.802, Florida Statutes, is filed with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and current. Florida’s Franchise Act, section 817.416, separately prohibits misrepresentation in the sale of a franchise.
Other states	BreakThru presents opportunities for Florida territories. A candidate who lives in, or wants a territory in, a state that registers franchise offerings or franchise sellers is referred to the franchisor directly.
Compensation	BreakThru Realty is paid by participating franchisors, under a written agreement, when a candidate it introduced signs a franchise agreement; candidates pay BreakThru nothing for matching. Where BreakThru also represents a franchisee in a lease or purchase, both roles and both sources of compensation are disclosed in writing before that engagement is signed, and the franchisee is free to choose other real estate representation.
Independent advice	Legal questions go to a franchise attorney, tax and structuring questions to an accountant, and financing questions to an SBA lender; every candidate should have the first two review the Franchise Disclosure Document and the franchise agreement before signing.
