Does Exit offer indirect financing to franchisees?

According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exit does not offer direct or indirect financing to franchisees. The FDD also states that Exit and Exit Realty Upper Midwest do not guarantee any financial obligations, such as notes or leases, that a franchisee may incur in connection with their business.

This means that prospective Exit franchisees will need to secure their own financing through traditional lending institutions, private investors, or other sources. Franchisees should be prepared to have a solid financial plan and sufficient capital to cover startup costs, working capital, and ongoing expenses.

The lack of financing options from Exit places the onus on the franchisee to manage their financial resources effectively and independently. This is a common practice in franchising, as many franchisors do not directly provide financing but may offer guidance or preferred relationships with third-party lenders.
