Franchise fund

£100m Franchise Fund

We've been helping franchisors and franchisees achieve success for thirty years. To celebrate that fact, we've allotted £100million to support existing franchisees and those new to the lucrative world of franchising. This means that it's easier to access funding and receive the help and experience of our franchising relationship managers.

What the Franchise Fund offers you:



  • The opportunity to apply for funding from £25,001 to £500,000 – up to 70% of the amount required – with repayment terms of up to ten years.
  • A reduced arrangement fee of 1% for your first year trading.
  • A 12-month capital repayment holiday in your first year, if required (interest will continue to accrue during the payment holiday payments may increase afterwards).
  • Receive 20% off NatWest RiskRemedy for up to 20 employees in your first year. RiskRemedy is the compliance service offering guidance on Employment Law, HR and Health & Safety issues. This offer is not applicable to NatWest Mentor Employment Law & HR, Health & Safety, Environmental and Tax services.
  • Two years’ free business banking if your business is a start-up and has been running for fewer than 12 months.
