SITE-SPECIFIC COSTS
Confirm servicing before finalizing the investment
Use the actual property location when discussing the franchise with Three Rivers’ Planning Department. Its application information lists different supporting documents depending on the proposal, including serviced or private-services site plans. Confirm what is required for your premises instead of importing an assumption from another part of the municipality.
In the financing budget, identify any site, utility or entrance work separately from the franchise fit-out. Ask the appropriate professionals for advice and quotations, and record which costs belong to the property owner. A shop in an established serviced building and a new commercial project can have very different responsibilities even when they use the same franchise brand.
- Confirm the property’s servicing and the documents required for its proposal.
- Separate landlord or property-owner work from tenant improvements.
- Obtain written quotes for material site-related costs before fixing the loan request.
APPROVAL AND OPENING
Allow the project route to shape the cash schedule
Three Rivers states that some applications can be assessed by planning staff while others require Planning Board or Council consideration. Larger projects or proposed bylaw changes need an early discussion. Confirm the route for your own project rather than assuming that every application has the same sequence.
For the business plan, connect that sequence with lease deposits, design fees, equipment orders and the first expected sales. If a proposal remains conditional, show the unresolved items and a later-opening scenario. We help explain how the owner’s funds and proposed financing will meet the project’s costs without presenting approvals or future revenues as already secured.
- Identify outstanding decisions before committing to a firm launch date.
- Show the timing of deposits and any refundable conditions.
- Build an opening reserve around the costs that continue during delay.
MATCH THE LOAN TO THE PROJECT
How to approach franchise financing in Three Rivers
Start with the amount and timing of your project costs, the investment you can contribute and a cash-flow forecast. We prepare the financing request and in-house business plan, then coordinate with suitable banks, credit unions or BDC. Your location, transaction and lender criteria help determine the options.
Fund My Franchise helps arrange the application; the lender decides approval, security, rates and repayment terms. Ask about fees and conditions before accepting an offer.
