Frequently Asked Questions

Why franchising?

Buying a franchise removes an enormous amount of the complexities usually associated with a start-up company as you benefit from the experience that has made the business model so successful. Beyond this, the franchise model is there to offer you real support with established systems, management advice, marketing assistance and ongoing training and development.

With Finance Partners you will also acquire all important lender relationships and access to essential industry accreditation.

Why do people use Finance Partners instead of going straight to the bank?

●We act in the best interest of You. Banks are not subject to a “Best of Interest Duty”, and they do not have any obligation to act in your best interest. 

●We have a national and international network of Financial Institutes & Investors to work with. In addition, especially for “Development / Long Term” Projects we work with Development Banks from several countries. 

●We understand how to package & present finance applications & Investment Proposals that meet the credit policies of the lenders / Investors. This leads to lower processing time and better outcomes. 

●Having all your lending with one bank exposes you and your business to lender concentration risks. By spreading your lending requirements across multiple suitable lenders, we can multiply the amount you can borrow, enabling you to grow your business quicker, increasing your returns.
