Who Should Invest at This Level

Financing This Investment
Most investors at this level combine their own capital, a bank term loan and sometimes a loan against property or a partner's equity. CGTMSE, a government credit-guarantee scheme, lets lenders give micro and small enterprises loans without collateral ā ask your bank whether your loan can be covered and on what terms. Get competing offers and compare the total cost, including fees.

Returns: What to Expect
We don't publish typical returns at this level. Brands' claims are shown on their listings, labelled as claims. Our view: at this size, the franchisor's financial health and the actual results of existing outlets matter more than any projection ā check both before you sign. Watch the terms: ROI is yearly profit as a share of your total investment; a profit margin is profit as a share of sales; payback is the months until your cumulative profit equals what you put in; and operating break-even (the month the outlet stops losing money) is not payback.
