What was the total number of Epcon Communities franchise transfers in 2024?

According to Epcon Communities' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no franchise transfers to new owners in 2024. The provided table, "ITEM 20 TABLE NO. 2 TRANSFERS OF OUTLETS FROM FRANCHISEES TO NEW OWNERS (OTHER THAN THE FRANCHISOR) FOR FISCAL YEARS 2022/2023/2024", indicates that the total number of transfers in 2024 was zero. This suggests that existing franchisees did not sell or transfer their franchise locations to new owners during that year.

For a prospective franchisee, a low number of transfers could be seen as a positive sign, potentially indicating franchisee satisfaction and stability within the Epcon Communities system. However, it is important to investigate further to understand the reasons behind the lack of transfers. It could also mean that there is a limited market for resales, which might affect a franchisee's exit strategy if they decide to sell their franchise in the future.

It would be prudent for potential franchisees to inquire about the reasons for the absence of transfers and to understand the process and potential challenges involved in transferring a franchise, should they consider doing so in the future. Understanding the franchisor's policies and support regarding franchise transfers is crucial for making an informed investment decision.
