Independent franchise funding service launched by d&t

The award winning chartered accountants believes the service will secure the best deal possible for franchisees, franchisors and other small and medium-sized enterprises looking to raise finance.

d&t has long-term relationships with all the main banks, satellite lenders and funding circles.

Dave Galvin, managing director of d&t, explains: “Setting up a franchise, growing a business or purchasing a new franchise territory generally requires significant outlay and, therefore, commercial backing. 

“Successfully securing and, crucially, getting a good deal on funding depends on several factors, including approaching the right lender and providing an appropriate business plan. 

“With d&t’s independent funding sourcing service, this is all taken care of.

“Franchisors often provide assistance with raising finance, but tend to nurture relationships with just one or two banks.

“Our ability to shop around for the best deal ensures clients don’t end up paying over the odds for borrowing, which could damage their business long term.”

The d&t business advisory team have hundreds of years’ combined financial experience. 

“Our team works with applicants to assess their financial viability, before developing a realistic and achievable business plan alongside them, which is then presented to the most appropriate lender,” Dave adds. 

“This takes the headache out of raising finance and allows applicants to concentrate on what they know best: building their business.”
