Financing Details
Property Management Incorporated or a related company is not obligated to provide financing, but they reserve the right to offer it for conversion costs or growth opportunities. This financing is typically in the form of promissory notes, with terms negotiated based on factors like the franchisee's financial need, credit history, ability to repay, net worth, business operations, and market development requirements. The promissory notes require a personal guaranty from all individuals with an equity interest in the franchisee. In the event of default, all principal and accrued interest payments are accelerated, and the franchisee is responsible for collection costs. Default on a note can also lead to termination of the franchise agreement.
