How to use this number

Compare this payment against what the same amount would cost on short-term financing. A longer term lowers the monthly payment but raises total interest — pick the payment your cash flow can carry every month.

Estimated Monthly Payment

$500,000 at 8% over 20 years (principal & interest)

Estimate for planning purposes only. Excludes taxes, insurance, and fees. Actual rates and terms are set by the lender in underwriting.

What this calculator works out

This franchise financing calculator estimates the monthly payment on franchise fees, build-out, and equipment financing so you can model unit economics before you sign.

Selection Criteria

Franchise-Focused Selection Criteria

Our alternative marketplace features relaxed guidelines because we leverage the historical success rate of your corporate parent brand.

01

Brand Type

The concept must be a corporate-approved or registry-listed franchise network.

02

Credit Profile

Minimum credit scores typically target 620+ for established brands.

03

Documentation Needs

A copy of your Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), the development agreement, and location lease parameters if applicable.

04

Experience Tier

Prior management or retail operational history is a massive plus, though new operators are regularly approved based on capital equity injections.

Common Use Cases

What Franchise Capital Covers

Franchise financing is written around the franchise disclosure document, the build-out schedule, and the ramp to breakeven.

Initial franchise fee

Fund the territory fee and secure the location before someone else takes the market.

Build-out and construction

Cover leasehold improvements, permits, and contractor draws through opening day.

Equipment packages

Finance the required kitchen, fitness, or service equipment package specified by the brand.

Multi-unit expansion

Open your second, third, or fifth location using performance from the units already running.

Resale acquisition

Buy an existing franchise with proven revenue instead of starting from an empty shell.

Opening working capital

Carry payroll, inventory, and grand-opening marketing until the unit reaches steady sales.

Structuring the Deal

How Franchise Files Are Underwritten

Lenders lean on brand performance data as much as your personal file, which is why an established concept can qualify faster than an independent startup.

Your information is private and secure. Applications and documents are transmitted over 256-bit bank-grade TLS encryption, and your file is shared only with the lending partners matched to your request. We never sell your data, and the initial review uses a soft credit pull that doesn’t affect your credit score.

Brand track record

Many lenders maintain approved franchise lists. A strong brand with documented unit economics widens your options immediately.

Injection required

Expect to contribute a portion of total project cost, commonly around 10 to 20 percent, from cash or acceptable sources.

Total project cost

Underwriting covers the full picture: franchise fee, construction, equipment, and the working capital needed to reach breakeven.

Program mix

SBA 7(a) is common for first units, while conventional and equipment structures often fit multi-unit operators better.

Ramp period

Payment structures can be matched to the opening ramp so your first months are not carrying a fully amortized payment.

Documents to gather

Your franchise disclosure document, signed franchise agreement, project cost breakdown, personal financial statement, and recent tax returns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions, Answered

Yes. Multi-unit development is commonly funded as a facility that draws down as each location opens, using existing unit performance to support the file.
