You‘ll need to have been operating for a certain period of time (generally at least 3 to 6 months) to be approved for a Business Loan. Generally, lenders will require a mortgage over real estate as security for the loan together with general security agreements. Some lenders do offer loans for a new business.
FRANCHISE FINANCE overview
Franchise Loan is generally a loan used to purchase a franchise license, which allows the franchisee to either: 1) sell a product; or 2) provide a service under the name of the franchisor in exchange for royalty and annual licensing fees.
Getting approved for franchise financing can be difficult, particularly if you need start-up funds, you have bad credit, or your franchise has been open for less than a year.
Here are common Business and Franchise loan requirements you’ll find when applying for a loan:
- Credit score. Lenders typically examine your personal credit report
- Age of your business
- Annual revenue
- Personal debt-to-credit ratio
- Net operating income
- Potential collateral
- How you intend to use your funds
