A Look At Today's Credit Market

Today's Credit Market - a very hot topic in the franchising world as well as business transactions. Fewer banks are using the SBA program to make loans. The Preferred Lender banks have specific guidelines and will hardly consider restaurants or food businesses unless the purchaser has considerable food experience. In addition, probably because there have been numerous loan defaults, besides considerable experience, they now require between 30-50% cash injection from the borrower. In franchising, if the brand is not well known, it is very hard to get money for start-ups. Some Franchisors have turned within to sell additional units to existing franchisees. Others have developed creative ways to assist in financing for their new franchisees. Some offer to finance a portion of the franchise fee - others will discount or waive royalties for a certain period after the franchisee begins to operate.

Re: How should i promote a new website? Re: How should i promote a new website? - ignore this message IF it's already been stated. I haven't had a chance to read all the replies and i have to jet from the office... I suggest marketing where ever your Target Market congregates. If it's a forum of concerned parents - go there. Strike up a deal with the forum owner (JV) and have him promote it to the list of members (Integration Marketing). If you want to go with Forums then i would partner with a parent who is a frequent poster/moderator on a particular Target Market Forum and have him/her add your link to their signature. That was just a thought but it's not as intense once you get buy in from the Forum owner or high ranked poster/moderator. Hope that sparks some new ideas.
