## Story

With the first quarter of 2015 over next week, Entrepreneur compiled its top trends for the remainder of the year, and noted this is a great time for aspiring entrepreneurs to consider franchising as a business model. Trends included:

**1. The increase in choices for financing** In 2015 there are more options than ever. The Express Small Business Administration (SBA) loan is available for those borrowing under $150,000. No collateral and only 10 percent to 15 percent down is required. There is also the Micro SBA product for loans under $50,000. Banks are once again promoting traditional debt financing such as the home equity line of credit (HELOC). And we are seeing more internal financing, a financing option available through franchisors to help you afford the cost of opening your own franchise location.
