What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buona's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Buona does not offer any direct or indirect financing options to franchisees for the initial investment required to establish a Buona business. The FDD specifies that franchisees must secure their own financing through third-party lenders.
While Buona does not provide financing, the FDD acknowledges that the availability and terms of financing from outside lenders will depend on various factors. These factors include the general availability of financing, the franchisee's creditworthiness, and the lending policies of the specific institutions.
Prospective Buona franchisees should carefully consider these factors and explore financing options from various sources. It is advisable to consult with financial advisors to assess their financial situation and develop a comprehensive funding strategy. Franchisees are also cautioned to allow for inflation, discretionary expenditures, fluctuating interest rates and other costs of financing, and local market conditions, which can be highly variable and can result in substantial, rapid and unpredictable increases in costs.
