What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Marble Slab Creamery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Marble Slab Creamery does not offer direct or indirect financing to franchisees for their initial investment. However, Item 10 provides additional information on a financing program that Marble Slab Creamery is currently designing.
As a prospective franchisee, you will need to secure funding through third-party sources. The availability and terms of this financing will depend on factors such as your creditworthiness, the collateral you can provide, and the policies of local lending institutions. Therefore, franchisees should independently investigate financing options and consult with financial advisors to understand the costs associated with opening a Marble Slab Creamery franchise.
While Marble Slab Creamery does not provide financing, they recommend that franchisees develop a business plan and budget, and investigate specific costs in their area. Franchisees should also review figures carefully with a business advisor before making any decision to purchase the franchise.
