The simplest path is to self-fund your startup using personal savings, investments, or retirement funds. This option avoids debt, interest payments, and external approval processes.
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) offers government-guaranteed loans through local banks and credit unions. Goin’ Postal franchisees often qualify for SBA 7(a) or SBA Microloan programs.
Goin’ Postal provides a complete Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) to help franchisees prepare SBA applications efficiently.
A Rollover for Business Startups (ROBS) allows you to use funds from a qualifying retirement account (401(k), IRA, etc.) to invest in your new business—without taking a loan or paying early-withdrawal penalties.
Many franchisees secure traditional small-business loans through local or national banks. These may be unsecured (based on credit strength) or secured (using assets or collateral).
Because Goin’ Postal stores use specialized shipping, printing, and packaging equipment, some franchisees choose to lease or finance specific items instead of purchasing them outright.
Homeowners sometimes use a home-equity loan (HELOC) or personal line of credit to access startup capital at relatively low interest rates.
Some franchisees bring in a business partner or investor—or receive startup assistance from family members.
From time to time, Goin’ Postal offers special incentives or reduced fees for qualified veterans and multi-unit owners.
When approaching lenders or investors, be ready with:
Being organized and transparent speeds up approval and demonstrates professionalism to potential lenders.
– Review estimated initial investment ranges and capital requirements.
– We can help match you with SBA lenders or ROBS providers familiar with Goin’ Postal.
– Lenders often provide a pre-qualification letter before you sign your franchise agreement.
