Yes, the main High Street banks prefer lending to franchises over new-start independent businesses because franchise start-ups enjoy a much greater track record of success. Most banks will advance between 50% of the total funding required. They will require you to present a business plan showing a detailed financial model for your business – we provide full business planning assistance.
