Exit Factor, specializing in business value enhancement and exit planning, is launching an international expansion after significant growth in the United States. The company recently entered the United Kingdom market and plans to target full master franchisees in New Zealand, Canadian provinces, Ireland, and the Netherlands throughout 2026, while also seeking individual franchise owners in Australia. This international push builds on momentum from 2025, when the company launched 66 new territories across the United States.
Founder and President Jessica Fialkovich stated that the company is excited to identify the right franchisees for these opportunities and help small business owners in those regions create profitable exit plans for their companies. Fialkovich's team will provide comprehensive support to new franchisees as they launch, helping develop the brand in their respective countries and implement Exit Factor's business valuation and exit planning methodologies. The company's comprehensive suite of services includes business valuation, value enhancement strategies, exit planning, and succession planning.
As a United Franchise Group brand, Exit Factor clients gain access to the resources and expertise of a global network with four decades of experience in the franchising industry. This affiliation provides franchisees with established systems and support as they enter new international markets. Exit Factor's expansion plans come as the company continues to receive industry recognition. The brand was recently recognized on Entrepreneur Magazine's 2025 Top New & Emerging Franchises list, was named among Inc.'s Best Workplaces 2025 and 2025 Inc. Power Partners, and saw Fialkovich nominated for the Peter Christman Exit Planner of the Year award by the Exit Planning Institute.
These accolades reflect the company's established reputation in helping entrepreneurs increase business value and achieve successful exits. The international expansion represents a significant step for Exit Factor as it seeks to bring its business valuation and exit planning services to small and mid-size business owners worldwide. By targeting specific countries with master franchise agreements and individual franchise opportunities, the company aims to establish a global presence while maintaining the quality and consistency of its proven methodologies. This growth strategy positions Exit Factor to become an international leader in the business exit planning industry.
