How to finance
Since the estimated total for Fitness Together is on the more costly side, we recommend following these steps to get fully financed:- Go to the Fitness Together franchising website and review its financial requirements, including cash-on-hand requirements.
- Reach out to Fitness Together about in-house financing for franchisees.
- If in-house financing isn't available, look for online loans, bank loans and SBA loans to help meet the $241,544 estimated opening costs.
- Compare lenders based on amounts, interest rates and what types of personal and business credit history they accept.
- Once you settle on a lender, gather all required documents, including account statements and assets.
- Apply for financing online or in person as required by the lender.
What types of financing is available?
You have several options when it comes to financing a Fitness Together — even if the cost is on the heavier side. What assets you have available will largely determine how much you need to borrow, and which option suits you best.- Online loan. A number of online business lenders offer amounts up to $1 million, with some extending up to $5 million.
- Bank loan. Your personal credit will typically need to at least be good — 670 or higher — when it comes to getting a bank loan large enough to cover a significant portion of Fitness Together opening costs.
- SBA loan. While your personal credit score doesn't need to be as good to qualify for an SBA loan, they usually cost more than standard term loans from banks or online lenders.
Compare small business lenders
You may not need financing to cover the estimated $175,462. But if you need funds for other business ventures, select the loan amount, your time in business and revenue and your personal credit score to compare a selection of lenders.How Fitness Together stacks up
