Starting a Plumbing Franchise Is a Simple Process

One of the best parts about owning your plumbing business is the lower operational costs compared to businesses that require a retail location.

To make the costs of opening a Benjamin Franklin Plumbing franchise more manageable, many of our first-time owners opt for financing. Since starting a new company is an important decision, financing can help relieve some of the uncertainty many owners feel during the earliest days of operation. Financing also helps ensure that you’ll have the extra capital to cover the operational costs of your new business. 

Our plumbing franchise owners have used financing such as

  • SBA Loans

    A type of loan provided by the United States Small Business Administration. These loans are backed by collateral and require franchisees to submit documentation regarding their new business and current financial information.

  • Home equity loans

    Your home might be the key to starting your new business!

  • Retirement funds

    These funds could be a great alternative to traditional financing. If you have retirement funds, speaking with a qualified financial advisor could help you determine if a ROBS arrangement is the right decision for you.
