Have you wondered how private equity can transform your franchising journey or why timing your exit strategy is as critical as choosing the right franchise?
Today, Alicia Miller is sharing some golden nuggets on scaling your franchise, understanding private equity’s role and most importantly, planning your exit strategy ahead of time.
And if you are confused when it comes to private equity, Alicia breaks it down into understandable bite size pieces. She explains how less than 20% of franchisors get private equity investment and what qualities these firms are looking for - like a strong management team, profitability and great cash flow potential.
And if that wasn’t enough, Alicia gives the lowdown on crucial metrics like the EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) and why it’s a big deal for valuations.
Alicia Miller is the Founder and Managing Director of Emergent Growth Advisors, a boutique strategic advisory firm working at the intersection of franchising and private equity.

She also advises private capital firms pre- and post-transaction on strategy and value creation initiatives and co-invests alongside her partners. As a former multi-unit franchisee, she brings a franchisee’s perspective and operating experience into every engagement.
So, if you are ready to uncover the secrets to scaling, sustaining and successfully exiting your business as well as learning about the financial intricacies of franchising that could be the game-changer for your business then today’s episode is for you!
