			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> </p>
<p>
<p>Once you have made the decision to purchase a franchise, you need to obtain funding. Determining if you can find the necessary investment capital may affect your decision to start a franchise. This is an important part of your business plan, and it can be a much harder goal to achieve than you may realize.</p>
<p>
<p>In fact, many people give up their dream of purchasing a franchise because they are unable to find the money required to do so. Fortunately, there are many available funding options if you just know where to look. I&#8217;m going to discuss some potential funding sources so you can purchase a successful franchise of your own.</p>
<p>
<p>Obtain a Special Franchise Loan</p>
<p>
<p>Depending on the country in which you live, you may be able to obtain a special franchise loan to start a franchise. For example, the United   States offers a lending program that has resulted in a huge number of successful franchises. They offer what is called SBA-backed loans to successful applicants. You should discuss the situation with your financial institution to see if you quality for an SBA-backed loan for your franchise. Many banks also provide a list of the specific franchises they are willing to fund.</p>
<p>
<p>Many British banks also operate a franchise unit that is specifically designed to provide financing to franchisees. Banks such as NatWest and Ulster Bank provide funding to many franchisers and franchisees. This can simplify the process of obtaining funding, since specific lending criteria have already been established. You may qualify for a &#8220;soft&#8221; loan; they require very minimal or no personal collateral as security, and they are generally offered at a much lower interest rate than traditional business loans.</p>
<p>
<p>Look For a Venture Capitalist</p>
<p>
<p>Another option to fund your franchise is to seek the assistance of a venture capitalist. You will generally be required to provide an extremely detailed business plan and an outline of every aspect of your proposed business. In order to obtain venture capital, you may also have to sacrifice as much as 50 percent of your business to obtain the required funding.</p>
<p>
<p>Consider Family Equity</p>
<p>
<p>Even if you manage to find funding for your franchise, you will need to invest some of your own money or &#8220;equity&#8221; into running the business. Hence, you need to make sure you are able to pay your bills every month and can handle all the necessary personal and business expenses. You should consider discussing your business with trusted friends and family members. They may be willing to invest in your new business venture if they see how determined you are to succeed.</p>
<p>
<p>Seek an Angel Investor</p>
<p>
<p>When I refer to angel investors, I don&#8217;t mean the kind with shiny halos and white wings. This term refers to an individual who is wealthy and is not a professional venture capitalist. This person has investment money ready for a lucrative investment opportunity or one that will net higher returns than traditional investment methods such as the stock market.</p>
<p>
<p>Most angel investors will only consider providing funding for investment opportunities that will earn them annual returns of 25 percent or higher. Many of these individuals are long-term investors who have helped many entrepreneurial ventures get off the ground.</p>
<p>
<p>Talk to the Franchiser</p>
<p>
<p>Last but not least, be sure to discuss the situation with the franchiser. According to recent statistics, approximately 30 percent of all franchisers are willing to provide financing to the franchisee directly or via a third-party lender. Your franchising agreement will normally indicate if direct financing is available. Even if this is the case, you will most likely need to consider alternate sources of funding as well. Most franchisers will not cover 100 percent of the required funding to run the business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having your own commercial cleaning franchise may seem like a very promising idea, but it involves careful and strategic planning and decision-making in order to maximize your business’ growth potential.</p>
<p>And the first key decision you have to make is choosing the right commercial cleaning franchise.</p>
<p>Some franchises promise high return on investment, while others promise full advertising support. While these factors are definitely very important they are not so powerful in isolation. You have to look for a franchise that offers you ‘the full package’ before you can make your decision.</p>
<p>Here are the key success factors you need to pay attention to that will help you make a success of any commercial cleaning franchise.</p>
<p><strong>1. The Overall Reputation of the Cleaning Business.</strong></p>
<p>This makes a lot of common sense. If the franchise has a good reputation with its existing customers, you will have a much easier time getting clients of your own in your area.</p>
<p>You can use client testimonials and referrals to help you get started, then form your own loyal client base to keep bringing in new clients.<br /><strong><br />2. Business Development Support.</strong></p>
<p>It’s important that the franchise owner gives you 100% support to ensure that your business will have long-term success. Business development support includes: training and seminars, giving advice on which locations are best for you to set up your business in, and comprehensive market research statistics.<br /> <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>3. Marketing Support – Expertise and Materials.<br /></strong><br /> Successful franchise owners provide adequate advertising support to franchisees. You should look to be getting pre-defined marketing materials for all necessary mediums – online and offline. These marketing materials should have been tried and tested ready for you to just customise and use straight away.</p>
<p>This minimizes your risk of spending a lot of money on working out what marketing works in your area and what doesn’t.</p>
<p><strong>4. Detailed and Tested Business Processes.</strong></p>
<p>This is critical! If you are looking to buy a commercial cleanining franchise, you must make sure you are getting good usable processes with the business package. These are the things that will enable you to “hit the ground running”.</p>
<p>Processes create a fail-safe environment, and allow you to get on with the more important things in your new business – like getting clients – as opposed to having to worry about teaching your employees the correct way to clean a kitchen…</p>
<p><strong>5. Business Goals Alignment.<br /></strong><br />You and the franchise owner should work towards achieving a common business goal. Remember, it’s ultimately a joint venture – both of you have high stakes on it.</p>
<p>Look for a franchise owner who immediately conveys his long-term plans with you. This means that the franchise owner is not looking for a ‘quick buck’, but is rather confident about the long-term success of the business.</p>
<p><strong>6. Customer Support.</strong></p>
<p>Although customer support is often overlooked, it is one of the critical elements in choosing the best commercial cleaning franchise.</p>
<p>Does the customer support immediately respond to your queries? Does the customer support attend to your needs? Since customer support is essential to this type of business, the franchiser should set an example.</p>
<p>Having your own commercial cleaning franchise requires hard work, motivation and determination. In return though, you’ll get financial freedom and the opportunity to create your own future, as opposed to working for someone and relying on their ‘good grace’.</p>
<p>If you spend good time preparing and researching the different aspects of owning a business, you should increase your chances of success.</p>
