Planning guide

Are you financially ready to explore a franchise?

Funding readiness begins with a credible personal and commercial picture—not with choosing a lender.

Prepare the evidence

List available cash, liabilities, household commitments, credit obligations and the amount you can risk without destabilising your finances. Build a business plan from defensible assumptions.

Understand the total requirement

Funding may need to cover fees, equipment, stock, premises, professional advice, launch activity and working capital. Your own contribution and security requirements will vary.

Keep advice independent

A franchise’s finance introduction can be useful, but compare options and obtain advice suited to your circumstances. Approval to borrow does not prove that the underlying opportunity is sound.

Turn your research into a sharper starting brief.
