FINANCING TIPS
Work out what you can afford?
For an established successful franchise a rough guide is to that the
banks will usually lend up to 70% of the total cash requirements. If
you have, for example, savings of £30,000, you could expect to be
able to finance a franchise with start-up costs and working capital
totaling £100,000. Security will probably be required for at least
part of the money. For a new or relatively untested franchise with an
increase in risk for all parties, the money available will probably be
nearer to the traditional pound for a pound basis i.e., a need for £20,000
contribution into a start up cost of £40,000. The more tried and
tested the franchise, the better the terms.
Projections and contracts
Ensure your financial projections cover all the foreseeable
expenditure in setting up the business. Remember businesses need time
to establish themselves and may not grow as quickly as you first
envisage.
Not
being able to estimate the amount of money you need is one of the main
pitfalls of starting a new business.
Evaluate all possibilities
If, after all you’re research looking at the good and the bad, and
you are still encouraged, discuss your plans with an accountant,
experienced businessperson, business advisor, and importantly your
bank manager. Cash flow, working capital needs and profit projections
are the core of preparing a good business plan. If is a realistic plan
and the franchise is a good one, you should start to see a return on
your investment in one to three years. With a growing awareness among
business people of the benefits of franchising, there are an
increasing number of franchise opportunities available. However, you
must evaluate each situation very carefully before parting with any of
your money, even a deposit.
