"If you intend to finance part of the purchase of that franchise, today it's going to be very difficult as most banks and investment banks will not make loans to anybody for any product. Therefore the best source that you have for capital is the franchiser. Go right back to them and say OK, I'm willing to pay the initial fee, where do I get the rest of it? Because if they've been smart along the years they've been building up capital and now maybe they're actually starting to lend it out to franchisees in order to keep their development going. Second, you can actually go to the franchisees. If it's such a great deal, well maybe somebody's willing to loan you money who is already in the business to build your own. They get a piece of your business, everybody's happy. Those are your two best bets today. I'm Roger Groh at Groh Asset and thank you very much for spending time with me."
