We require our franchise owners to have a net worth of $250,000 and $65,000 in liquid assets.
While we do have, but are not required to offer, financing to cover $20,000 of our $50,000 franchise fee, we do not have additional in-house financing to cover the full cost of your investment after your franchise and territory fees. However, we have partnerships with third-party vendors who can assist you in securing the funding you need to start your Floor Coverings International franchise location.
