According to a study, 7 out of 10 Filipinos would like to put up a business but are too afraid to try. Owning and running one’s business is a long-cherished dream for many professionals who are tired of the daily grind. It is also an aspiration for Overseas Filipinos (OFs) who want to ensure that their hard-earned money are invested in a self-sustaining, profitable enterprise that can create a happy, secure future for their loved ones for years to come. However, while the idea is attractive, entrepreneurship can also be daunting for many of these people for various reasons: the lack of capital, the absence of knowledge and training in running a business, their limited time in working on the potential business, or simply because they do not know where to start.
Unknown to them, their dream is very much within reach. BPI Family Savings Bank’s Ka-Negosyo Franchising Loan can make funding, especially for the initial capital for a franchise, available to these budding entrepreneurs with terms that are both reasonable and achievable.
No experience needed
BPI Family Ka-Negosyo likewise makes it easier for budding entrepreneurs who have no prior experience in running a business by linking them with successful franchises that are always looking for potential franchisees to invest in their franchise brand and run their own respective outlets. The guidance and training that a franchisee gets from the franchisor is essential to the success of franchise acquisition because they get to know important guidelines such as projection on investment pay back terms; factors that can effectively operationalize the business; and the various types of funding they would need from start-up capital to operational expenses, at least during the beginning of the venture.
The Ka-Negosyo Franchising Loan is specifically designed to cater to the entire franchise industry’s financial needs. A client may want to invest in an established franchise, and he may or may not have the experience in running one. A light payment scheme is offered at the beginning of the amortization that is a great help in managing cash flows which oftentimes hard to manage at the beginning of any business venture. The BPI Family Savings Bank is currently the only financial institution in the Philippines that has the Franchising Loan financial solution.
BPI Family Ka-Negosyo has strong alliances with the industry leaders in reputable organizations such as the Philippine Franchise Association and Association of Filipino Franchisers, Inc. This partnership opens up doors of opportunities for would-be entrepreneurs who want to put up a franchise business but need guidance to make informed decisions on the kind of franchise that they would select.
