You will need to prepare a business plan, together with financial forecasts to support your request for finance. Your franchisor will probably help you with this, but you should understand the figures and 'own' the business plan.

Your local business banking manager will be happy to discuss your plans with you, and tailor a finance package to match your needs.

Our Franchise Loan has been specially developed to finance the purchase or expansion of a franchised business and offers flexible terms, with the option of fixed interest rates and capital repayment holidays for loans of over £25,000.

Finance schemes are in place for some of the more established franchises, your franchisor will be able to give you details.
