Finance the opening of your franchises

Structure a tailored club deal to finance your openings. Starting from 500,000 euros, no personal guarantee.

A solution designed for franchisees

Opening a new franchise or expanding an existing one is a major opportunity for entrepreneurs, but financing can be a barrier.

Banks are often reluctant to finance franchises, which they consider too risky or insufficiently adapted to their traditional criteria.

Caption offers you fast, simple financing, allowing you to focus on developing your franchise network and managing your business.

Selection criteria

What we look for

Established brand

We look for franchisors with a market-proven concept, verifiable performance history over several years and actively growing network. The brand must have a business model successfully replicated across multiple outlets.

Solid business plan

The file must present realistic forecasts, supported by demonstrated ROI on existing units. We expect a structured opening plan with a precise schedule, detailed budget per outlet and a coherent scaling strategy.

Secured locations

Target locations must be identified with signed or advanced-negotiation leases in high commercial potential areas. We evaluate location quality, catchment area, local competition and consistency with brand positioning.

Experienced team

The project leader must be a franchisee or multi-franchisee with significant operational experience in the sector. We value demonstrated management ability, track record on previous openings and personal involvement in the project.

A good franchise file is above all a franchisee who knows their trade, a brand that has proven itself and a realistic opening plan. Our role is to structure the financing so the project leader can focus on what they do best: developing their network.
