Improve financing outcomes for your franchisees

The Franchise Registry Membership

Take Control of How Lenders See Your Brand

The Franchise Registry connects your brand to the lenders that fuel franchise growth. Over 60% of SBA franchise loans come from lenders who rely on FRANdata’s FUND Score to assess risk, set terms, and make approval decisions. Without visibility into how your brand is evaluated, you’re leaving your franchisees exposed to higher costs, slower approvals, or denials.

Value of the Franchise Registry

By joining the Franchise Registry, you can:

  • Shape how lenders assess your creditworthiness

  • Reduce risk and financing costs for your franchisees

  • Access insights used in loan underwriting, portfolio management, and SBA compliance

  • Build stronger relationships across the banking ecosystem—not just with sales teams

 

As a franchisor, the franchise registry membership improves your franchise financing program. Being a member of the franchise registry helps you meet lender demands for efficient access to the information lenders need when they need it – this means the best outcomes for you and your franchisees.

I recently took advantage of the Financing Consultation Call offered by FRANdata. It was a real eye opener – I had no idea what I didn’t know! My advisor pointed out many opportunities for my company to a paint a more transparent, compelling snapshot of the financial soundness of our business opportunity. It is clear to me that this once call that we are not telling or great story to the lenders out there.Financing Consultation Call is no brainer and educated me on our FUND score and how meaningful the score is to lenders. I would encourage others to take advantage of it too!
