Self-funding allows you to assume no debt or interest by tapping into your savings or even 401k, and maybe even friends and family.

Pros: no debt, no interest, and not beholden to your lender.

Cons: often times this will not be enough to support the business, and you weaken your own personal cash position. Next, we'll explore a better option, the Rollover for Business Startup plan!

Conventional loans can be provided by banks or non-bank lenders but are not guaranteed by the SBA or other government entities. Your credit rating and business revenues will determine the amount, interest rate, and term length of your loan.

Pros: shorter closing times than SBA loans typically and easier to get than increased or renewed.

Cons: require collateral and a personal guarantee from the business owner; shorter repayment times than SBA and potential prepayment penalties.

Which do you prefer and why:
An emerging brand where you work closely with the founder OR A proven brand with less flexibility where you “ just follow the system”?

While the corporate world typically slows it's hiring down in the first quarter of the year, franchisors are looking for talented individuals to turn their employee status into ownership status. Many will take that year end bonus and utilize it to pay their franchise fee and begin their venture into becoming their own boss. Others will be frustrated by no year end bonus or raise. Wondering what to do next. There are franchise opportunities for most everyone. Let's chat!
