NEFA Presents: Franchise Financing: Keys to Success in the Current Economic Climate

Successful franchise development requires franchisors to stay up to date on all financing options available. In today’s economy one of the biggest concerns of a franchise system is how and where to get capital for franchisees to start their business or ways for franchisees to keep it running or to finance their growth. 

This panel/workshop will provide the audience answers to the above questions. 

This panel discussion is very valuable for each member of your franchise development team as well as for existing franchisees, or prospective franchisees interested in expansion. 

You will learn how banks and other lending organizations evaluate franchisee loan applications, and the types of funding that is available, even in these unsettled financial times.
