Are there financing options available?
Patch Medics does not directly provide financing, but some franchisees may qualify for third-party financing options for portions of their investment, such as equipment, vehicles, or the initial franchise fee. We can introduce you to lenders familiar with franchising, but you are free to work with any financing partner you choose. All financing decisions are ultimately between you and your lender.

Specific timing and collection details are outlined in the FDD and your franchise agreement.
What ongoing costs should I plan for each month?
In addition to ongoing royalty and marketing fund contributions, you should plan for typical operating expenses such as payroll, fuel, supplies, rent (if applicable), insurance premiums, technology fees, local advertising, and any debt service if you use financing. We’ll help you think through these items as part of your business planning process, but your actual monthly costs will depend on your business model and market.
