Does any agent of Gold Star offer indirect financing?

According to Gold Star's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, neither Gold Star nor any agent or affiliate offers direct or indirect financing to franchisees. Additionally, Gold Star does not guarantee a franchisee's obligations to third parties, nor does it receive payments for facilitating franchisee financing.

This means that prospective Gold Star franchisees will need to secure their own financing through banks, credit unions, or other lending institutions without the direct assistance or endorsement of the franchisor. Franchisees should consider this when planning their initial investment and ongoing operational costs.

This is a fairly common practice in the franchise industry, as many franchisors prefer not to become directly involved in the financing arrangements of their franchisees. Franchisees should carefully review their financial options and create a solid business plan to present to potential lenders.
