BANK FINANCING

If you are seriously considering purchasing a Jamaica Blue café franchise business and you are looking into your financing options, Jamaica Blue makes it easier for you with bank accreditation at the following banks in Australia: Commonwealth Bank, NAB, and ANZ.

HOW DOES JAMAICA BLUE’S BANK ACCREDITATION HELP ME OWN A CAFÉ BUSINESS?

Most banks will lend money to future café franchise owners based only on their tangible assets such as equity in a house, cash or shares as a means of securing the business loan, in what is referred to as secured lending.

As Jamaica Blue is an accredited franchisor, a bank may also allow a potential franchise owner to borrow against the inherent or perceived value of their future café business as well, referred to as
unsecured lending.

With bank accreditation, Jamaica Blue gives you the opportunity to more easily secure the bank loan you may require to open your future café business. For example, if the café business you’re interested in costs $300,000 and you have $150,000 equity in your house, the most a bank will lend you is $150,000. But when structuring a business loan with an accredited franchisor like Jamaica Blue, a bank has the option to lend additional money up to the value of the secured assets.

HOW DID JAMAICA BLUE OBTAIN BANK ACCREDITATION?

In general, obtaining financing for a Jamaica Blue café business takes approximately 12 weeks from start to finish. Whilst this is happening, all the necessary Jamaica Blue applications, checks and
processes are running concurrently to the finance applications. This means you won’t be waiting for one to complete before the next one starts.

STEPS TO FINANCING

What you will need: A good understanding of both your financial situation, and the financial parameters of the business you’re looking to finance when you go and see the financial institution.

Financial situation: A copy of your bank accounts, mortgages and any loans, credit cards and other financial arrangements you have.

Financial parameters: How much are you looking to borrow? How much do you project the business will turnover? What ROI are you projecting?
