According to the 2025 FDD, Exit Realty Upper Midwest does not offer direct or indirect financing to franchisees. The FDD also states that neither Exit Realty Upper Midwest nor EXIT guarantees any financial obligations, such as notes or leases, that a franchisee may incur in connection with their business.

This means prospective Exit franchisees will need to secure their own funding through traditional lending institutions, private investors, or other sources. Franchisees should be prepared to cover all startup costs, including the franchise fee, real estate, equipment, and initial marketing expenses, without relying on financial assistance from Exit Realty Upper Midwest.

This is a fairly common practice in the franchise industry, as many franchisors do not directly finance their franchisees but may provide a list of preferred lenders or resources to help franchisees find financing options. However, the franchisee is ultimately responsible for obtaining the necessary capital to launch and operate their Exit franchise.
