Business Plan Clinic
Once you've decided on the type of franchise business that will suit you 
best, you will then need to turn to the important question about what you can afford.
Individual circumstances vary, but as a rule - and if you have some security - add up your savings and multiply by a factor of three: if you have £20,000, you should be able to finance a franchise with start-up costs of around £60,000.
Those start-up costs matter, too. We're keen to make sure that they're not prohibitive (which is why NatWest is investing £100m and offering a host of financial incentives), but it's up to you to consider whether the initial fee (typically between £15,000 and £20,000) and continuing fees represent good value for money.
Whatever stage you are in the planning process why not bring your plans to The National Franchise Exhibition and meet with financial experts from NatWest to make sure you have the financial package that's right for you and your ambitions.
