Delivering Franchising Expertise
Riverside has invested in a cadre of successful franchise companies, growing them through operating expertise and strategic add-ons. Led by an experienced senior advisor, the Riverside Franchising Specialization team seeks to source and integrate add-on opportunities, drive growth, and capture potential.
The Right Choice for Franchisors
We believe franchisors choose Riverside because of its strong reputation, and because the firm offers many potential advantages:
- Global Resources. Riverside’s team on four continents delivers a diverse breath of knowledge, new markets, and sourcing opportunities.
- Increased EBITDA. Riverside understands how to grow earnings through increased sales, reduced expenses, and improved processes.
- Operational Savings. Riverside’s pooled purchasing programs can potentially save companies millions on services ranging from healthcare to shipping.
