Kidcreate Fairfax Station, VA Celebrating One Year Anniversary!

Kidcreate Fairfax Station, VA Celebrating One Year Anniversary!

Kidcreate is honored to be able to partner with two of the nicest people on the planet, Kainnayi Ko-Sun and Hla Maung of Northern, VA.  This happy couple joined the Kidcreate community by opting in on a multi-unit option to open two Kidcreate territories in Northern, VA. 

That’s when things started to get interesting.  While doing their research on choosing their first studio location in Fairfax Station, another opportunity came to them to purchase an existing Kidcreate Studio business in Ashburn, VA.  And they took it.  Kainnayi and Hla took over operations of the Ashburn studio in the second quarter of 2022.  And they ended the year with Ashburn winning the award for highest revenues in the Kidcreate system!  And they were able to accomplish that feat, while they were knee deep in architectural drawings, permitting and building out their first Kidcreate Studio in Fairfax Station, VA.  And they successfully launched the Fairfax studio in the Fall of 2022.

Now it is time to celebrate their successes for their first – no wait, is it their second?– studio location in Fairfax Station.  They have officially been open and operating the Fairfax Station Studio business for a full year. To say they were busy is an understatement.  It has been a wild, exhilarating, and fun ride for Kainnayi and Hla this past year, while operating two Kidcreate Studios.  

Not to be resting on their laurels, Kainnayi and Hla decided to open a third Kidcreate territory!  They have recently launched their third territory as a Kidcreate On the Go business, operating in the Centreville and Fairfax, VA area.  They are excited to be able to physically connect their first two territories with Studio locations by adding their third territory to be able to operationally cover a larger expanded territory.

On a recent call with Hla about Kidcreate in the Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia Metro area, Hla was excited to talk about their next step in their Kidcreate journey and has decided to begin to look for a fourth territory in early 2024 in the Maryland Suburbs of the DC Metro area.  

We at Kidcreate cannot wait to watch in awe as Hla and Kainnayi celebrate one full year in Fairfax Station and to partner with them in their future growth efforts.

Congratulations to Kainnayi Ko-Sun and Hla Maung on ALL their Kidcreate successes.

The Most Common Ways to Finance the Purchase of a Franchise

The Most Common Ways to Finance the Purchase of a Franchise

Purchasing a franchise is an incredibly exciting time, but it can also be a bit daunting. One of the most important things you’ll need to do is figure out how to finance your new venture. Here are some of the best ways to do just that.

Self-fiNance

Self-financing is a popular way for entrepreneurs to fund the purchase of a franchise. It provides an individual with the opportunity to become their boss. It eliminates the need for investors and lenders who may have other ideas about the direction of the business that could contradict those of its founder. Self-financing enables entrepreneurs to retain complete control of their new venture, from a choice of location, marketing strategy, and product or service offerings to staffing decisions.

Bank Loan

Bank loans are one of the most popular ways to finance the purchase of a franchise. After all, franchising is one of the most popular and common methods for entrepreneurs to start their own businesses. By taking out a bank loan, entrepreneurs can access the capital they need to invest in a franchise without putting their personal assets at risk.

SBA GUARANTEED loan

SBA loans are a great way to finance your investment and make the dream of owning a business come true! From small independent bakeries to art education franchises, you can purchase just about any type of franchise with an SBA guaranteed loan. Banks around the country are permitted to offer Small Business Administration backed loans that provide low-interest, financing options with optional terms for business owners who don’t have the upfront cash. This easy access to capital resources means that owning a business is within reach for people from all walks of life. Taking out an SBA backed loan can provide the necessary funds for the investment for your business for qualified buyers.

 

home equity

Home equity loans are an attractive way to finance the purchase of a franchise. Taking out a loan secured on your home requires careful consideration but can be a great financial option if you already own property. Home equity loans use the equity in your home as security and offer you flexibility regarding interest rates and repayment periods. This isn’t right for everyone, but if you’re looking into buying a franchise, taking out a home equity loan might be the way to finance your purchase. 

Retirement funds

It is possible to finance a franchise, expand an existing business or launch a new business venture with funds from retirement accounts penalty-free. Investing in yourself and your business can lead to an exciting journey of unlimited potential and new possibilities – but why turn to your retirement funds? It’s important to remember tapping into this funding source comes risk-free! Retirement accounts offer peace of mind because you do not go into debt, you simply borrow from your own funds. Plus you may receive tax benefits for self-investment when taxes are due. 

no collateral Loan

If you’re looking to finance a franchise, an option is available for those with excellent credit ratings and equity. Securing a loan without needing collateral is something that many who are interested in a business venture might be interested in, as it can help to minimize the amount of risk taken. Fortunately, more and more lenders are becoming aware of this option and making it easier for qualified borrowers who are trying to finance their next big business dream without risking too much. This can be an extremely valuable resource for those entrepreneurs wanting to finance a franchise without using collateral.

When starting a new small business, it is important to consider all funding options before deciding. Taking on debt should not be undertaken lightly, but it is useful in getting your business off the ground quickly and easily. Weighing the pros and cons of each type of funding option is critical to making the best decision for your new small business. At Kidcreate, we help lead our new Franchisees through this process to ensure that they finance their new business in the best possible way. If you’re considering opening a Kidcreate franchise, don’t hesitate to contact us for more information about how we can help you finance your new business.
