FranEquity has developed an online financing platform that connects underfinanced franchise candidates with potential investors and lenders. The platform allows candidates to create investment groups and raise capital to purchase a franchise outright or obtain financing. Franchisors can integrate FranEquity's tools and customize a microsite to help candidates in their system access this financing network at no cost unless a franchise is successfully sold. The platform manages the entire process from candidate registration to verification to introducing qualified investment groups to franchisors.
