A. WPMG does not offer financing but there are a number of other financing options available to qualified individuals. Keep in mind that selecting the right funding strategy is very important. Here are a few suggestions.

• Franchise Funding Specialists How do you know which finance options might be best (or even available) for you? Companies such as FranFund or Guidant can explain potential strategies you can use in your financing efforts. These companies typically have established relationships with various lenders that specialize in one or more types of franchise financing. They may also offer equipment-leasing options, signature credit lines, 401(k) rollover products, SBA lending, conventional lending, etc.
• Veterans Programs For our country's veterans, the government has established a program called the Patriot Express Pilot Loan Initiative. This is an SBA-guaranteed loan program for military veterans and/ or their spouses designed for those currently in the military who are close to retirement. The SBA will guarantee up to 85 percent of the loan. That means the lender only is at risk for 15 percent, which makes such loans more attractive to the lender.

Q. Do you offer a military discount?

A. Yes. Qualified active military personnel and veterans can purchase a franchise for two thirds of the then-current initial franchise fee.

Q. What is the term of the franchise agreement?

A. The initial term of your franchise agreement is five years, with three subsequent successor terms of five years each.

Q. When would I have to pay the franchise fee?

A. The franchise fee is $30,000. This is the initial cash investment required to buy and open a Wallace Property Management Group franchise business. This estimate includes the franchise fee and other initial start-up costs, but doesn’t represent the total cost of operating the business.

Q. What are the ongoing advertising and marketing fees? What are these fees used for?

A. Franchisees will be required to spend a minimum $800 per quarter on local marketing in their first year of operations. (The franchisor will reserve the right to increase this amount by up to 10% annually.) Franchisees will also contribute up to 2% of gross revenues into the system marketing fund (this may increase to up to 3%). Collected funds will be used to develop marketing strategies to promote the Wallace Property Management Group brand and fund the creative costs to develop any local franchise marketing materials, websites and other marketing campaigns.
