Bank Financing

Financing for Small Medium Enterprise (SME) is always a challenge, however as a Muffin Break franchisee you can benefit from Muffin Break’s accreditation with some of the major banks. Most banks will lend money for a SME business based upon the tangible assets the business owner can put up to secure the loan, for example, equity in a house, cash, shares, etc. This is referred to as secured lending. Where a franchisor is accredited, the bank may also allow someone to borrow against the inherent or perceived value of the business. This is known as unsecured lending. Imagine you are trying to buy a business for $300K, if you have $150K equity in your house, most banks will only lend you $150K. In an accredited business, the bank has the option to lend the same again secured on the business, that way you can borrow the full $300K, which is 50% secured against the house (secured) and 50% secured against the business (unsecured). Most banks work on a 50/50 split. In occasional circumstances the bank may be prepared to lend a little more than 50% unsecured.
