What Is Franchise Finance?
Franchising your own money in order to purchase and set up a franchise may be possible if you have all the funds upfront. However, most aspiring franchisees often don’t have the initial capital required. Capify can help you fund your dreams with franchise finance.
Buying into a franchise can carry much less risk than starting a business from scratch. The strength of a large brand behind a good entrepreneur can often produce success. The proven business concept is also much less risk from a credit perspective making it more likely for you to get approved.

What Can Franchise Finance Be Used For?
Some larger brands don’t allow you to borrow in order to buy into the franchise and require you to have capital of your own upfront. Franchise Finance can also be used to help you grow your franchise, for example, you may want to even invest in another location. You could also look to invest in additional local marketing activity that will boost your franchises growth!

How Can a Franchise Be Financed?
A common questioned asked by many is, can I borrow to buy a franchise? The answer is yes, in some cases and no in others. Bigger franchise brands such as McDonalds expect you to have the capital upfront without borrowing and others don’t.
One of the ways in which you can fund your franchise dream or expand can be a business loan. Capify offer business loans to those who are looking to invest or grow their franchise business. Unlike traditional commercial bank loans from the big five, Capify allows a fantastic level of flexibility instead of fixed terms. There may be several documents required in the application process in order to assess your creditworthiness. The stronger your financial history the better your chances are of approval. Our business funding experts will help you through the process and simplify everything for you.
