Exit Factor, the award-winning franchise specializing in business value enhancement and exit planning, has announced ambitious international growth plans for 2026 following a successful expansion year. The company launched 66 new territories across the United States in 2025 and recently completed its entrance into the United Kingdom.
The 2026 expansion strategy targets full master franchisees in New Zealand, Canadian provinces, Ireland, and the Netherlands, while seeking individual franchise owners in Australia. This international push represents a significant scaling of the company's operations beyond its established U.S. presence.
"With all the success from last year, we are building on that momentum as we look to expand our international reach in new countries," said Jessica Fialkovich, founder and president of Exit Factor. "We're excited to identify the right franchisees for these opportunities and help small business owners in those regions create the most profitable exit plans for their companies."
The company's comprehensive suite of services includes business valuation, value enhancement strategies, exit planning, and succession planning. Exit Factor's methodology focuses on helping entrepreneurs increase their business value and achieve successful exits, making it a trusted name in the industry.
As part of the United Franchise Group family of brands, Exit Factor clients gain access to resources and expertise from a global network with four decades of franchising experience. This affiliation provides franchisees with established systems and support structures that have proven successful across multiple industries and markets.
Exit Factor's recognition in 2025 includes being named to Entrepreneur Magazine's Top New & Emerging Franchises list, Inc.'s Best Workplaces, and Inc. Power Partners. Fialkovich was also nominated for the Peter Christman Exit Planner of the Year award by the Exit Planning Institute.
The expansion has significant implications for business leaders and entrepreneurs in the targeted countries. Small to mid-size business owners in these markets will gain access to proven exit planning methodologies that have helped U.S. companies maximize their value. For franchise investors, this represents an opportunity to enter the growing business consulting sector with an established brand.
