Selling your company can be tough. So we created Wonder, a permanent and friendly home for your brand. We're a low-profile holding company that partners with best-in-class franchisor and multi-unit businesses across North America via acquisition or growth investment
How do we generally partner? Well, it depends. We tailor our deal structure to fit your needs
0% equity, non-dilutive
Cash for partial purchase of your royalty stream
0% paid out in cash
100% ‘rolled’ ownership (paid out later at a higher expected valuation)
cash infusion for growth
60 - 90% paid out in cash
10 - 40% ‘rolled’ ownership (paid out later at higher expected valuation)
partial cash out
100% paid out in cash
Founders choose Wonder over private equity alternatives because we’re straightforward folks. We’ve tailored our approach to solve for your needs (simplicity, speed, certainty, cash) while preserving and growing your brand

We believe in win-win outcomes and reputation is everything. We know that partnering or selling your business outright can be stressful and exhausting. So we have designed our process to be quick and painless
“I was immediately impressed with the team. They were both personal and professional in their approach, which is different than what I have experienced. I always felt that our negotiations were transparent and fair.”
“For any seller considering engaging; you are in good hands. Quick, easy and transparent. They don’t play any games and move quickly and honestly. I would gladly work with them again. Good guys.”
“I wasn’t actively looking to sell, but a referral connected us with this private equity group; I’ve grown my business organically and it means something to me to keep it growing. They made it clear how serious they were about the business, employees and growth; that is what I cared about. A true class act.”
We consider ourselves ‘handshake’ folks and focus on discretion, speed, and transparency in everything we do.
Treating all parties with kindness
and respect throughout the process
Providing value for all stakeholders, including potential sellers, employees, and customers
Upholding the highest standards of integrity and transparency at all times
Being responsive, reliable, and always treating our counterparty's information with the utmost confidentiality
Being humble and working collaboratively with our partners
We can buy or invest in your business in under 60 days
We have a 30-minute introductory call to learn about your story and values, and see if we can help
We sign a mutual NDA so that the details of your business are legally protected
We provide a basic list of information we would need (franchisor financials, unit financials, your desired role going forward etc.) and you send over what you can, when you can
Based on the information, we will provide you a simple term sheet with a valuation of your business. If you agree with it and want to move forward, then we would both sign a Letter of Intent (LOI). The LOI is a nonbinding document that formalizes our agreement and gets both sides aligned on the smaller points before diligence
We begin and complete due diligence over the next 30 - 60 days, depending on the complexity of your franchisor
We sign the purchase agreement, wire you the funds, and enjoy a celebratory drink or coffee!
We created Wonder to create a true long-term home for your brand. We would love to get to know you and your business!
