Buying a franchise is a smart move—but how do you fund it? Here are 6 proven ways:.

SBA Loans – Low interest, great terms (like 7a loans).

Personal Savings/401k (ROBS) – Use your own money without early penalties.

Franchisor Financing – Some brands offer financing or lender partners.

Bank Loans – Traditional funding, if you’ve got strong credit.

Online Lenders – Fast, flexible, but read the fine print!

Friends & Family – Keep it professional—use written agreements.
