What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buildingstars' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero outlet transfers in West Virginia during 2024. The provided table, "Table 2 Transfer of Outlets from Franchisees to New Owners (other than the Franchisor) For years 2022 to 2024," indicates this. This means no existing Buildingstars franchisees in West Virginia sold their businesses to new owners during that year.
For a prospective franchisee, a low number of transfers could be seen as a positive sign, suggesting that franchisees are generally satisfied with their businesses and are not looking to sell. However, it could also indicate a lack of liquidity in the market for Buildingstars franchises, potentially making it difficult to sell a franchise in the future if desired.
It's important to note that this data only reflects transfers to new owners other than Buildingstars itself. Transfers back to the franchisor are not included in this particular table. A prospective franchisee should investigate further to understand the reasons behind any franchise transfers, whether to new owners or back to Buildingstars, to gain a comprehensive understanding of franchisee turnover and satisfaction.
