Obtaining Financing for Business Expansion verses Franchising Franchising a small business may be the answer to the question; “what is the best pathway for growth?” Today banks are restrictive on a business obtaining loans to expand their business. Thus this lack of available capital makes its very challenging to say the least at business expansion. At the same moment however; banks are lending to franchisees wanting to invest into buying and starting a franchise. This is because franchises by their very nature are proven concepts. Plus this factor combined with the fact that a franchisee will put up some of their own capital and will usually actively participate in its operation makes sense to the financial institutions to consider. This gives the bank some protection. A proven concept of a franchise with vested management into the entity’s success is usually a safe bet for a bank. Then combine the support structure of a franchise system makes the franchisee a good prospect for the bank to finance.
