An Australian Franchise Opportunity Backed by Global Franchise Experience
Founded by Jessica Fialkovich, a leading business exit expert, Exit Factor brings a proven exit advisory franchise model to Australia at a time when business owners need more than traditional growth advice.
Many owners have spent years building profitable companies, but profit alone does not make a business ready to sell. A strong exit requires a business that is transferable, valuable, less dependent on the owner, and prepared for the next buyer or successor. That is the gap Exit Factor franchisees are built to fill. As more Australian business owners prepare for retirement, succession, or sale, the need for structured exit planning and value growth support is becoming more urgent. Exit Factor gives franchise owners a system for helping clients understand where they are today, what needs to improve, and how to prepare for the next chapter.
Exit Factor Australia is backed by United Franchise Group, a global franchise organisation with 40 years of franchise experience, more than 1,600 franchises across 60+ countries, and established offices in Australia. You are not joining an idea still being figured out. You are joining a proven system designed to help franchise owners launch, grow, and serve Australian business owners at one of the most important moments in their lives.
The Exit Factor 5-Step System: How You Support Clients as an Exit Factor Owner
As an Exit Factor franchisee, you bring structure to one of the biggest decisions a business owner will ever make. Many owners know they want to sell, transfer, or step back someday, but they do not know what their business is worth, what a buyer would expect, or what needs to improve before they are ready. The Exit Factor 5-Step System gives you a clear process for guiding clients from uncertainty to action. You help them assess where they stand today, identify what is holding value back, and build a practical plan to increase profit, reduce owner dependence, and prepare for the next chapter.

The Australian market creates a clear case for specialist exit advisory support:
- Australia had 2,729,648 actively trading businesses as of 30 June 2025, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
- MYOB research found that 48% of Baby Boomer SME business owners and operators plan to exit within one to five years.
- The same MYOB research found that only 24% of SME owner/operator respondents have a succession plan in place for their exit.
- IBISWorld estimates the Australian management consulting industry will generate A$45.8 billion in revenue in 2024-25, showing the scale of business advisory demand even as buyers become more selective.
- ABS data also shows 437,150 business entries and 370,500 exits in 2024-25, reinforcing how much movement occurs across the Australian business economy each year.
The opportunity is not general business consulting. Exit Factor focuses on exit readiness, value enhancement, and succession advisory for owners who know they need a plan but have not built one yet.
