How does the DreamStart™ Program work?
FranchiseNow supports the three most common franchise funding paths and helps you understand which one fits your situation best.
1) ROBS (Rollovers for Business Startups)
Allows you to use retirement funds tax-deferred and penalty-free to invest in your business. Benefits include no taxes or penalties, no credit requirements, no monthly loan payments, and the ability to use ROBS as your SBA down payment.
2) SBA Loans
The most popular franchise loan, backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Advantages include lower down payments, longer repayment terms, lower monthly payments, and competitive interest rates. SBA loans require additional financial documentation and lender review — but FranchiseNow helps you prepare everything so your file is complete and lender-ready.
3) Using ROBS + SBA Together
Many franchisees use ROBS as the down payment and an SBA loan for the remaining project costs. This combination reduces out-of-pocket expenses, strengthens loan approval, keeps monthly payments manageable, and improves liquidity when opening.
What funding options does FranchiseNow support and how do they work?
For SBA or loan-based funding, we perform a quick soft credit pull that does not affect your score. AI and our scoring model evaluate your fit with typical bank standards. For ROBS, no credit pull is required — you answer a few questions, and we confirm eligibility the same day.
How does pre-qualification work, and will it affect my credit?
Most candidates receive a clear answer within 24–48 hours.
How long does it take to know if I’m qualified?
Fund your franchise fee through ROBS, SBA, or both with the DreamStart™ funding program by FranchiseNow. DreamStart™ is bringing easy, transparent funding options to franchise brands through:
