We pre-qualify all of our clients and as a result 95% of our clients get the financing they need. You’ve read and heard that banks are not making loans — that’s not totally true. We have lenders who are actively seeking new borrowers. However these lenders require a sound business plan that is well researched and contains realistic financial projections. ANYTIME FITNESS MULTI-CLUB FINANCING Interest rates are ultra low. The prime rate in 2006 was 8.25% in 2014 it’s 3.25%. On a $250,000 7– year term loan that is an annual interest savings of $7,154! You’re a successful Anytime Fitness owner and want to open additional Clubs or purchase an existing franchisee. Or, Franchisors often want or require that you open multiple units within a specific time frame. The problem for the owner is “proving” to a lender that you can finance the additional Clubs. Most lenders will not consider financing another location unless your current location has been in operation for 12 to 18-months. Lenders focus their concern in three areas: 1. Do the current locations have a positive cash flow? 2. Will the new location stretch management too thin (do you have a solid manager for the new location)? 3. Do you have 15% cash to invest (maybe 10% if it’s your 3rd or more location) in the new location and still have “rainy-day-fund” cash for unknown contingencies? Financing your new Club may be your greatest concern. We can help you get the long-term financing you will need . BASIC REQUIREMENTS 1. You must have in cash 15% of the total amount required (maybe 10%) for the new location. We help franchisees get the money they need to open and grow their business! Veterans get a $500 discount! 2. Your current locations must have solid financial statements preferably prepared by a CPA. 3. At an absolute minimum your present locations must have a positive cash flow equal to or greater than 130% of your locations current loan and equipment lease payments. Cash flow % = (profits+amortization+depreciation divided by total loan payments and or lease payments). 4. Federal tax returns including all schedules will be required for each location and for each 20% or greater owner of the current or new locations. 5. All 20% > owners will need a credit score of 650+ and will provide a personal loan guaranty.

Lenders check the franchisee’s financial plan and compare it to; 1) other Anytime Fitness franchisee loans they may have financed, 2) another similar fitness business they financed, and 4) standard industry sources (the same ones we use) to determine how “valid” your financial plan really is. • When you use our Financial Planning template we help you spotlight the basics (number of members, initiation fees, security cards, sales and marketing expenses, etc.) to create your financial plan.
