Getting started often involves high upfront costs — from franchise fees and deposits to training, marketing, and staffing. We work with over 120 lenders, including those specialising in franchise funding, to help you spread costs with fixed monthly repayments over terms of up to seven years.

How Does Financing for New Start Franchisees Work?
Start-up franchisees often use Asset Finance to fund equipment, machinery, or technology required by the franchisor. Business Loans are ideal for franchise fees, launch costs, stock, or marketing. Vehicle Finance can help if your franchise model involves transport, deliveries, or mobile services. Did you know, Fit-Out Finance is also available if you’re setting up new offices or opening a retail outlet?
Once you’re ready, your Account Manager will compare lenders, secure a tailored offer, and guide you through the simple steps. Funding can often be approved and ready to release within 24 hours.
You can also explore our tools to support your decision-making — including our repayment calculators to get a clear idea of costs, and our eligibility checker for a quick, commitment-free check on potential funding options.
