What is Franchising?

You can define franchising as a “business in a box.”

The business owner (franchisor) grants the applicant (franchisee) the legal rights to obtain the trade name, market the service or goods, and operate the business with a one-time fee. Then, you get all the revenue from your own franchise.

But some franchisors will require you to pay a royalty fee per annum.

How to Finance a Franchise with No Money?

We know that each business venture needs money to start rolling. You may have some savings now, but it is not yet enough.

What if the franchising business you have always wanted suddenly gave a better deal for a short period of time? Perhaps there is a “50% off promo” on the franchising fee. Maybe the franchisor is throwing more inclusions in the franchise package.

Will you be able to pass up this good opportunity? Of course not.

Time is gold when it comes to business and investing. Fortunately, there are five ways to fund your dream franchise venture.

Banks Loans

Banks are known for their strict requirements. The list can go on, including collaterals and co-maker. Add to that, the more requirements you have to submit, the longer it will take for the bank to verify your documents.

The process alone takes a few days. If you get your loan approved, it will take a few more days before you can get your cash. You also have to take a leave from work since banks require personal submission of documents and forms.

Family and Friends

Filipinos are used to borrowing cash from family, friends, and neighbors. The process is quick and smooth depending on how close you are to the person. Usually, there is no need to pay interest. However, you are putting your relationship at risk.

You can only get short-term loans from the people you personally know. The money they let you borrow is already intended for something important in the future.

Imagine borrowing the tuition money from a friend, but you have to pay it before enrolling.

Missing the payment means you break a precious relationship. Not to mention that the lender (who used to be close to you) can go to your other friends and tell them about your bad-paying habits.

Pawnshop

Over the years, we have grown familiar with “sangla“. We are also familiar with the risk of losing our valuables if we fail; to pay the loan on time.

It gets worse too. The money you can borrow is limited by the amount you are pawning.

Crowdsourcing

Crowdsourcing is an effective way to fund your franchising business. You might set up your crowdfunding page or look towards specific organizations.

But here’s the deal: crowdfunding has the least assurance of success. It also takes too much time.

If you are looking forward to paying the franchising fee and running the business immediately, you will need a faster option.

And that is getting an online cash loan from a direct lender.

Online Personal Loan

How to apply for a loan for your franchise business?

Getting a personal loan from an SEC-registered lending company will help you get the additional cash you need to start your franchise.

You can apply for a personal loan online and get the cash straight to your bank account in just one day.

There are too many lending companies with online apps, but you need to scrutinize each. If you get a loan from a registered lender and build a good borrowing reputation, this direct lender will be willing to give you better loan deals in the future.

And it gets better!

Registered online lenders usually do not require any collateral or a co-maker. It makes the loan process faster. You will get your cash when you need it the most.

Best Tips to Be a Successful Franchisee

We get that the first thing you need is to have the funds to support your new venture. But funds are not the only factor to success. You should also have the right attitude to handle customer relationships and complaints.

To be a successful franchisee, you need to obtain the following attributes:

• If the franchisor requires you to pay the royalty fee per annum, it’s better to pay on time rather than lose the right to operate the business you just obtained.
• Be a problem solver. We know the franchise business offers marketing and any other support they can provide. Still, it takes someone to be a problem solver to withstand the franchising business competition.
• Be passionate and results-driven. No matter how much you have paid for the franchise business, it will never be a passive income for you if you don’t spend time checking on your employees. You have to be passionate about running a business and set up measurable goals.

Tired of just being an employee?

What if you want a business but you lack ideas?

You can now be the boss of your business franchise.

There is no magic button when it comes to running your business. The franchisor may have a great business process, but it will still depend on how much effort you will pour in to ensure it thrives and grows.
