The majority of new McDonald's Owner/Operators enter our System through buying an existing restaurant(s)
from either McDonald's or from an Owner/Operator.
The purchase price of an existing restaurant varies and is dependent upon a number of factors including
sales volume, profitablity, occupancy costs, reinvestment or improvement needs, competition and location.
Upon your successful completion of our world class Owner/Operator training program, a McDonald's
Franchising Manager will present available restaurant opportunities to you. In some cases you will
be competing with existing Owner/Operators and other applicants for these opportunities.
McDonald's provides potential buyers with a comprehensive guide to assist you in the evaluation and
acquisition of the restaurant. You will negotiate directly with the selling Owner/Operator. Prior to
any transfer, McDonald's must approve the transfer of the franchise from the buyer to the seller.
We require that the buyer pay a minimum of 25% cash as a down payment toward the purchase of a restaurant.
The remaining balance of the purchase price may be financed for a period of no more than seven years.
While McDonald's does not offer financing, McDonald's Owner/Operators enjoy the benefits of our established
relationships with many national lending institutions. We believe our Owner/Operators enjoy the lowest
lending rates in the industry.
