What needs to happen next?

As you can see, talking to us can only be to your advantage. An outline of what will happen next if you do follows below.

  1. Upon reaching agreement in principle with a franchisor, we sign a confidentiality undertaking in the franchisor’s favour. We need no complex agreements and either party reserves the right to terminate the relationship at any stage.
  2. We allocate a Franchise Finance originator to your brand. It is this individual’s responsibility to prepare a comprehensive accreditation pack and maintain it up to date.
  3. We make the accreditation pack available to participating banks and use it as a basis for the creation of a generic loan structure and lending conditions. This structure and the conditions linked to it will apply to all finance applications for your brand. Seen from the franchisor’s viewpoint, this offers several advantages.
     
  1. 3.1 Traditionally, franchisors had to prepare up-to-date documentation in support of a franchisee’s loan application in a variety of formats, depending on the particular bank’s systems. Franchise Finance accepts responsibility for keeping the information up to date and distributing it to the banks in advance.

    3.2 All participating banks receive the loan application simultaneously; this encourages competition.

    3.3 When the banks receive the loan application, they have the necessary information on file. This speeds up the decision-making process enormously.

    3.4 Notwithstanding anything stated above, every bank has the right to vary the conditions of a specific loan based on the merits of a specific application.

  2. Following accreditation, we place your brand on our web-based list of accredited business systems. A listing on www.franchisefinance.co.za/Accredited Business Systems promotes your franchise offer at no cost.
