Q: Why is there a wide range of investment cost?
A: Individual needs and desires may vary. For instance, square footage of space, rent per square foot and level of mechanization desired.
Q: Is financing available?
A: We encourage you to talk to your local banks regarding your financing needs. Great Harvest franchisees are also eligible for expedited and streamlined SBA loan processing through the SBA's Franchise Registry Program. Log on to www.franchiseregistry.com for more information.
