What if the key to unlocking the future of your franchise lies in understanding the ins and outs of franchising funding? Hold tight as we sit down with Sherri Sieber, president of Fran Fund, as she spills the secrets of the trade. Sherri Sieber's remarkable journey has seen her transition from a sales and marketing role at Liggett and Myers Tobacco Company to running factories for Motorola, and finally to her current role as the president of Fran Fund. She unravels the complexities of franchising funding, discussing the variety of options from SBA loans to unsecured loans, home equity, and marketable securities.

Transparency, they say, is the currency of trust. And when it comes to transparency with lenders, this couldn't be more accurate. Sherri emphasizes that an accurate franchise disclosure document is not just a nice-to-have, but a must. She expands on why it's crucial for franchisees to be sufficiently capitalized and highlights the value of having a relationship with a bank. Navigating the challenging times of the financial crisis of 2007-08, she shares insights on the significance of collaboration, and how genuine integrity resulted in a sterling reputation for Fran Fund.

Join us on this riveting journey through the world of franchising, an industry Sherri describes as a 'big small town'. You'll learn about the excitement, the sense of community, and the significant contribution the franchising industry brings to the US economy. More so, Sherri explores the benefits of participating in the franchise industry, both from the standpoints of established brands and the new generation of franchisees. This episode is brimming with invaluable advice for business owners and franchisees - a delightful blend of wisdom, experience, and down-to-earth practicality. Buckle up for this enlightening ride!
