We do not offer financing, directly or indirectly, for any part of the initial investment for a Franchise. The availability and terms of third-party financing will depend on factors such as the availability of financing generally, your creditworthiness, collateral you may have, and the lending policies of financial institutions. The estimate does not include any finance charges, interest, or debt service obligation, or your living expenses. You should have sufficient capital or other means to pay for your living expenses for at least six months of operation.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Burros Fries's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Burros Fries does not offer direct or indirect financing for any part of the initial franchise investment. However, the document states that third-party financing may be available, with the terms depending on factors like creditworthiness, collateral, and the lending policies of financial institutions.
This means that prospective Burros Fries franchisees will need to secure funding for their initial investment through their own means, such as personal savings, loans from banks or other lending institutions, or investors. The FDD also notes that the estimated initial investment does not include any finance charges, interest, debt service obligations, or living expenses.
Therefore, franchisees should ensure they have sufficient capital to cover these additional costs, including living expenses for at least six months of operation. It is important for potential franchisees to carefully consider their financial situation and explore all available financing options before making a decision to invest in a Burros Fries franchise.
