Financial Health Notes
The financial condition of MPC Franchise, LLC raises concerns regarding its ability to provide services and support to franchisees. As a new company, it has not been in business for three years and its financial statements for various periods are unaudited, meaning no independent Certified Public Accountant has expressed an opinion on their content or form.
Financing Details
MPC Franchise may offer in-house financing solely for one-half of the initial fees, at its discretion. This financing requires a 50% down payment at the time of signing the agreement. The remaining balance is payable over 12 monthly installments, starting 90 days after training completion, at an 8% interest rate. Payments are debited automatically each month until paid in full, with no prepayment penalty. The financing is secured by a UCC filing on the business's assets and a personal guarantee from the owner(s). Defaulting on the loan can lead to the loss of the franchise agreement and responsibility for all associated legal fees and collection costs. MPC Franchise does not offer any other financing options.
