Franchising loans in Canada, properly obtained and constructed, help guarantee
entrepreneurial success for prospective franchisees. We're going to unlock some of those '
secrets to help ensure that success story. Let's dig in.
We can categorically say, notwithstanding the tremendous growth in franchising in
Canada, that there's no ' easy money ' on the table when it comes to this type of loan or
finance solution. In fact, we can safely say that many of the reuirements of any business
loan apply to almost all franchise scenarios.
!o it becomes a uestion of leverage " the amount of debt # the franchisee can take on, the
collateral value of assets being financed " euipment, leaseholds, real estate, rolling
stock # as well as the business e$perience of the owner .
%ften overlooked, or simply forgotten, is the franchisee's ability to misgauge the working
capital and growth financing that might be needed post acuisition. While in some cases
it might be assumed your business will lose money in the early stages it clearly makes
sense to focus on cash flow and profitability from day one.
We meet with many franchisees who are interested in, or in the process of acuiring an
e$isting franchise. &etting past the fact that the franchisor itself must approve this type of
sale it's absolutely critical to determine what levels of success "or distress# that business
was e$periencing pre purchase. 'his necessitates a strong look at e$isting financials,
personnel, and market conditions re location, industry growth, etc.
While it might seem logical that Canadian chartered banks are the predominant financier
of franchises in Canada this might actually not be the case. While the banks do in fact
align themselves with the big names in the business those franchises are often, for the
obvious reasons, more e$pensive and reuire much more capital investment and personal
financial commitment.
'he reality in Canadian franchise financing( It's that most operations are financed by a
small handful of specialty lenders, as well as those borrowers to choose to opt for the
&overnment !mall )usiness Loan "aka the ' !)L *#. %ther forms of supplementary
financing are also utili+ed and available to borrowers , they include euipment lessors,
term lenders for working capital loans, merchant advance cash flow financiers, and loans
secured by personal assets of the franchisee, the latter not recommended.
