What is Franchise Finance?

Franchise finance is funding provided for both start-up and established franchise businesses. Business loans, asset finance and franchise loans are examples of the franchise finance products available. Like every business, securing capital for a franchise allows business owners to invest in their company to transform their operations.

A franchise is a new business that uses the name of an existing brand. Creating a franchise, or franchising a business, is a way for the franchisor to distribute products and services through a franchisee. The franchisee pays royalties to the franchisor typically alongside an initial franchise fee, which gives them the right to trade under the franchise’s name.

With the right franchise financing products, business owners can kick-start their franchise business and secure a high return on investment. When you’re setting up a network of companies under one franchise, you may need to open stores in new locations, invest in equipment, and hire new staff. All of these factors are why business owners need franchise loans to put their operations on the path to success.

Considerations when looking to obtain franchise finance

Obtaining finance is normal for any business across all industries when they’re starting up. Franchise businesses and brands are no different. Day-to-day operating costs that allow you to run your business, the initial franchise fee, and business planning for the future all require significant working capital.

If you have a franchise opportunity, ensure you choose the best franchise financing option for your business. Finance products are available from high-street banks or other lenders that provide asset finance and business loans. To ensure you secure the best finance option for your franchise, you must work with finance specialists.
