2016 is starting off on the right foot for potential franchise business owners<\/a><\/strong>, as you’ll see from the statement below.<\/p>\n

From Maria Contreras-Sweet, Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration:<\/p>\n

“I am proud that Fiscal Year 2015 was one of the most successful years in SBA\u2019s history. It was a record year in small business lending, a record year in investment, and a record year in contracting. SBA reached historic levels for small business lending under our flagship 7(a) program. We reached $23.5 billion dollars in gross approvals, a 22 percent increase in the number of loan approvals, and a 23 percent increase in the dollar value of those loans, compared to FY 2014<\/em>.” More<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Small Business Administration Loan Approvals Up 22%. Things Are Getting Better<\/h2>\n

A statement like that from the SBA is proof that things have finally started to turn around for those looking to start businesses-especially franchise businesses.<\/p>\n

Most of the people who come to me for help don’t have the financial means to simply write a check for $250,000 to open the franchise of their dreams. Obtaining a small business loan<\/a> is crucial for those wanting to take their shot at small business ownership.<\/p>\n

It’s great to hear that the SBA’s loan approval rate is up so much.<\/p>\n

(Disclosure: I write a monthly article on franchising for SBA.gov<\/em>)<\/p>\n

I Remember<\/h2>\n

10-15 years ago it was much easier to obtain a small business loan for a franchise business.<\/p>\n

\"home\"<\/p>\n

Would-be franchise business owners could simply march into their local bank and apply for a home equity loan…or a home equity line of credit. Approval would take a week or two, and like magic, a franchise could be purchased. With interest rates at the time hovering around 4%, using one’s home equity was a no-brainer. Lots of franchises were sold. Lots of new franchise businesses were opened. Lots of downsized employees were able to wave goodbye to corporate America and start working for themselves.<\/p>\n

Time For You To Do It?<\/h2>\n

Is it your<\/em> time to do it?<\/p>\n

Are you going to make 2016 the year<\/em>?<\/p>\n

The year you took more control of your life?<\/p>\n

If so, and you feel that owning a franchise can help you get where you want to go, read (and profit from<\/em>) my top tips for buying a franchise in 2016.<\/p>\n
