Franchising: Will You Need Money Down?

Jul 29, 2022 4:29 pm

Hi there!

There is no such thing as a "No Money Down Franchise." Why?


Because lenders need you to have skin in the game. As in "money."


Think about it.


If you were the banker, would you lend a new small business owner all of the money they'll need to open for business?


Of course not. But you may lend a portion of what they need.


So you'll need money down. But how much?


Speaking of franchise business loans, I'm an affiliate for Guidant. That means I may receive payment from them if you use their services, which include providing all types of franchise loans. Here


Figure you’ll need to come up with around 30% of the total franchise business investment.


For example, if the total investment of a certain franchise is $225,000, which will probably include the upfront franchise fee, equipment, build-out, inventory, and some working capital, you’ll need to write a check for around $68,000 (30%).


The question is...are you willing and able to do that?


But you won't know exactly what you can budget for up until you know what your net worth is.
