Franchisor Accreditation
Partner with CFI to give your franchisees streamlined access to funding — and drive network growth.
CFI makes franchise finance easy
Funding for the franchise sector is core to the CFI Finance DNA. Our accreditation model and strong franchisor relationships make finance easy and stress-free for franchisees and franchisors alike.
If you're looking to drive network growth, support new franchisees, refresh or roll out new equipment, or maximise the potential of your franchise brand, CFI is the finance partner you've been looking for.
Why get accredited with CFI?
Accreditation gives your franchisees faster access to funding — and gives you the tools to grow your network.
Grow your network faster
Access to funding is the number one barrier to network growth. Accredited brands enjoy faster approval rates and services tailored to driving new franchise sales.
Maintain onboarding momentum
Waiting months for a bank approval kills deals. CFI can often approve applications within 48 hours — keeping both you and your new franchisee motivated and moving.
Remove barriers for refurbishments
Franchisees can be reluctant to part with hard-earned capital for refurbs. CFI turns capital expenses into manageable weekly payments — removing the affordability argument.
Increase multi-site franchisees
Traditional lenders limit growth to available property equity. CFI assesses applications on commercial merit — supporting existing franchisees who want to expand into additional territories.
Painless equipment rollouts
Rolling out new equipment or signage across your network? CFI supports national rollouts with blanket approval criteria and simple documentation — breaking the cost into affordable weekly payments.
