You want to buy a petrol station and need to raise capital

In today's edition of the Funding Connection Newsletter, we're thrilled to share valuable advice that could significantly impact your journey towards becoming a successful petrol station owner.

🔸 Franchise Opportunities: The Key to Success 🔸

When considering the best path to open a petrol station, our top recommendation is to explore the option of purchasing an existing station and becoming a franchisee. The major petrol suppliers, such as Caltex, Shell, Total, and BP, among others, offer unparalleled support in various crucial areas, including administration, marketing, and addressing all the business-related challenges you may encounter.

🔸 Why Building a New Station May Not Be Ideal 🔸

While building a brand-new petrol station from scratch may seem enticing, it's important to be aware of the potential risks and delays involved. Obtaining the necessary permits and complying with regulations can be a time-consuming process, stretching over a couple of years. This significantly increases your risk exposure. Additionally, franchisors generally prefer to work with individuals who possess the requisite expertise and experience before venturing into setting up a new station.

🔸 The Franchise Approval Process: What to Expect 🔸

If you decide to pursue a franchise opportunity, be prepared to meet specific requirements set by the big suppliers. These typically include submitting a comprehensive business plan, complete with a financial forecast, along with application forms and a presentation for the approval process. Don't worry, though, as we're here to offer our support throughout this entire process. We've successfully assisted numerous petrol station owners in fulfilling these requirements, including guiding funding applications.
