Last Call for Year's Most Audacious Deals
Nominations for the second annual Franchise Times Dealmakers project are due by January 15, the final extended deadline for the competition designed to recognize excellence in mergers, acquisitions and other financial transactions in franchising.
Deals that closed between July 1, 2012, through December 31, 2013, are eligible. Nominators may enter a single deal for consideration as Deal of the Year, or multiple deals executed by one firm.
Or, they may nominate an individual for special achievement in financial transactions in franchising over a career. Click on the Dealmakers button on the franchisetimes.com homepage to nominate online.
Winners will be selected by a panel of judges in early February, and covered in the April issue of Franchise Times. They will also be honored at a luncheon awards event, a highlight of the Franchise Finance & Growth Conference at The Venetian in Las Vegas in March.
