Many candidates fund a franchise purchase through a mix of sources: SBA-backed loans, retirement fund rollovers, home equity, or personal savings. Which paths fit depends on your picture. Your development manager walks you through the financing paths candidates actually use, and what lenders will want to see.
A straight gut check before you spend more of your time: owners should be properly capitalized, and the business should not be expected to fund itself from day one. The next step’s quick questions help both of us see whether the basics line up, and there are strong options across a range of financial levels.
For earnings and revenue questions, the honest answers live in The DRIPBaR’s FDD, including its financial performance representations (Item 19), and in conversations with owners. You will get access to both as part of your evaluation. We do not improvise numbers here, and you should not trust any site that does.
