Are start up costs for a restaurant considerable?
Starting a restaurant can have a considerable price; there are many factors including franchisor fees, advertizing costs, kitchens and equipment, food licenses, specialty licenses, personnel costs, renting or owning a building, and many other costs. But, at MatchPoint, we are here to assist franchisees in avoiding common mistakes for those new to food service franchising.
How do you match skills, experience and ability to food franchise opportunities?
Besides the consultation process, we invite prospective franchise owners to take our profiling test. Determining your skills, interests, aptitude, commitment, and financing capacity help us determine the best food service or restaurant franchise options. By putting together a strong franchising partnership, the likelihood of success increases. Learn about MatchPoint’s profiling system; help us help you.
Will MatchPoint look at my ability to finance a franchise?
Yes. Your franchise business consultant will help you determine the status of your finances, look through your potential loans, recommend other lending sources (Small Business Administration loans for example), and look at your financing options that you might have overlooked, perhaps a 401K. Once we determine the financing options, we can decide together on the range of possible franchises.
