For many prospective franchise owners, financing is one of the biggest questions to answer before moving forward. How much capital do you need? What will lenders want to see? How much should you keep available for working capital?
Re-Bath Franchising approaches the franchise investment process with an emphasis on transparency. Rather than leaving prospective owners to estimate the costs on their own, we provide an upfront breakdown of the estimated investment required to open a home and bath remodeling franchise, along with resources to help franchisees understand their financing options.
How Much Does a Re-Bath Franchising Franchise Cost?
The estimated initial investment for a Re-Bath Franchising remodeling franchise ranges from $275,875 to $606,925. The actual investment can vary based on factors such as location, showroom and warehouse costs, vehicles, equipment, inventory, and working capital needs.
The current estimated investment includes expenses, such as:
- Initial Franchise Fee. $50,000.
- Vehicles. Approximately $30,000 to $80,000.
- Equipment, Supplies & Inventory. Approximately $18,000 to $50,000.
- Showroom, Warehouse & Office. Approximately $60,000 to $100,000.
- Additional Funds. Approximately $75,000 to $250,000 for the first three months.
- Grand Opening & Local Advertising. Approximately $34,375 to $40,625.
- Training, Insurance, Licensing & Professional Fees. Additional costs vary based on the franchise and market.
These figures are estimates, and prospective franchisees should review the applicable Franchise Disclosure Document for additional information about the investment. The Federal Trade Commission's guidance on franchise disclosures also offers insights into what franchisors are required to disclose to prospective franchisees before they invest.
What Are the Financial Requirements for a Re-Bath Franchising Franchise?
We provide prospective franchisees with several financial benchmarks to help them determine whether franchise ownership may be a fit.
The current requirements include:
- $150,000 in liquid capital.
- $300,000 minimum net worth.
- 690+ credit score.
- Third-party financing available.
Meeting these benchmarks does not guarantee financing or franchise approval. Individual lenders may have their own requirements based on credit history, assets, income, debt, business experience, and other factors.
What Financing Options Are Available for Re-Bath Franchising Franchisees?
New franchise owners do not necessarily have to fund the entire investment from personal savings. Depending on their financial circumstances, prospective Re-Bath Franchising franchisees may consider several financing options.
SBA Loans
SBA-backed financing is one option franchise candidates may investigate when funding a new business. These loans are provided through participating lenders and can offer terms designed for small-business borrowers who meet the applicable requirements.
Traditional Business Loans
Some franchisees use conventional bank or commercial financing to fund part of their startup costs. Lenders may consider factors such as personal credit, available assets, business experience, and the overall financial plan.
Third-Party Franchise Financing
We make third-party financing available, giving prospective franchisees another resource to explore as they evaluate how to structure their investment.
Retirement Fund Financing
Some qualified entrepreneurs consider programs such as ROBS, or Rollovers for Business Startups, to use certain retirement funds to finance a business. These arrangements have specific legal, tax, and administrative requirements, so prospective franchisees should consult qualified financial and tax professionals before deciding whether this approach is appropriate.
How We Support the Financing Process
Financing a franchise involves more than choosing a loan. Prospective owners also need to understand the total investment, determine how much capital they can comfortably commit, and plan for the expenses involved in getting the business up and running.
Our transparent investment information gives candidates a starting point for that planning. The estimated investment range accounts for expenses such as the franchise fee, vehicles, equipment, showroom or warehouse space, advertising, insurance, and additional funds for the first three months.
We also offers training, ongoing support, and national and local marketing as part of its franchise model. For someone entering the remodeling industry for the first time, having an established system behind the business can provide structure while they work through the launch process.
Three Ways to Invest in the Re-Bath Franchising Franchise
Re-Bath Franchising's franchise opportunity is not limited to entrepreneurs starting a business from scratch.
There are three ways prospective owners can approach the opportunity:
- Start a New Business
Entrepreneurs can start a Re-Bath Franchising franchise from the ground up and receive comprehensive training, ongoing support, and national and local marketing resources as they build their business.
- Add Re-Bath Franchising to an Existing Remodeling Business
Existing home improvement or remodeling business owners can add Re-Bath Franchising to their current operation. Because they may already have infrastructure, employees, vehicles, or other resources in place, their startup costs may be significantly lower than the estimated investment for a new franchise.
- Convert an Existing Home Services Business
Owners of an existing bathroom remodeling or home services business can also consider converting their company to the Re-Bath Franchising brand. This provides access to our national resources, training, marketing, and franchise support while allowing an existing business owner to build on an operation they have already established.
