Need Financing/Funding?
If you’re like a majority of entrepreneurs, you’ll need to do some due diligence on funding your business venture. If you choose the franchising route, there’s a good chance your preferred business will offer in-house financing – or access to third-party lenders to fund your purchase. There are no shortages of options available to you, but you should plan on getting all of your financial affairs in order prior to accessing these resources:
- California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development Funding Programs
- California Business Loan Information by City
- California Venture Capital Firms
- California Angel Investors
