If you’re a franchisor, securing financing for your prospective franchisees is crucial for growth. But what happens when a promising lead lacks the necessary funds to buy into your franchise? This is where Benetrends Financial, in partnership with FranData and their Franchise Registry, can make all the difference.
The Power of the Franchise Registry
The Franchise Registry is a comprehensive franchise financing platform used by over 9,000 lenders across the United States. By ensuring your brand is in the Franchise Registry, you’re meeting lender demands for efficient access to critical franchise system information, which can expedite the loan approval process. This means your franchisees are more likely to secure financing quickly, allowing you to convert hot leads into successful franchisees.
Why Benetrends Financial?
At Benetrends Financial, we work closely with FranData to ensure that our clients are not just bankable but also ready to secure the best financing options available. When a franchisor gets a lead that’s ready to buy, but lacks the full amount, we step in to assess their financing potential. If the lead is bankable and the franchisor is already certified by FranData, we can fast-track the financing process, making the lead even hotter. However, if the franchisor isn’t certified, we might face delays as we wait for the bank to review the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
This underscores the importance of being a verified member of the Franchise Registry. Not only does this certification streamline the financing process, but it also signals to lenders that your brand is serious about growth and financial stability.
Benefits of Joining the Franchise Registry
- Expedited Financing: Membership in the FranData Franchise Registry provides lenders with transparent and accurate information about your brand, reducing the time it takes for your franchisees to secure financing.
- SBA Lending Certification: You gain access to the proprietary Certification of Franchise Eligibility for SBA Lending, which many of the largest franchise lenders in the industry now require to process loans.
- FUND Score Awareness: Your membership also means you understand your FUND score—a credit score used by lenders who finance almost half of all SBA franchise loans. Knowing and managing this score can further enhance your brand’s attractiveness to lenders.
