Franchising details
Fifo Capital was launched in New Zealand in 2005 and the brand has now expanded to the UK. Franchisees are known as business partners and have substantial freedom to build their own financial business, within the arena of lending to small businesses and SMEs. Fifo Capital provide short term lending, such as invoice finance and standby credit lines.
This is a professional financial brand which has enduring appeal for businesses seeking additional finance. Franchisees are seen in the role of financial consultant and expected to build long-term relationships with their clients.
Many franchisees are established professionals working across a range of sectors, including lawyers, accountants and entrepreneurs. And, this franchise model depends a good deal on franchisees investing their own capital into client loans, alongside funds sourced from other financial institutions and peer franchisees.
Fifo Capital is an established brand, with strict guidelines covering all aspects of marketing and brand identity. All financial transactions are compliant with UK regulations and franchisees will have access to the company's Streamline CRM system. Streamline offers all the business management and transaction support needed for efficient business operations.
