The BNZ offer franchisees a range of services, from everyday banking to borrowing, specialist business advice and mentoring.
Every franchise has unique business and banking needs. BNZ's franchise team will work with you to understand and then meet your needs.
We’ll help your business to grow and succeed through:
- Flexible lending that takes into account non-financial factors like your business proposition, experience and overall brand performance
- In-depth understanding of the franchise market to help your business thrive
- Locally based Business Managers, offering you sound advice and expertise through local market and industry knowledge
Lending based on your business needs
While traditional business lending is based on assets, BNZ understands that the success of a franchise depends on some additional factors. We’ll take these factors into account, such as your systems and marketing, the franchisor, how the brand is performing and the location of your business.
Your locally based Business Manager can arrange a tailor-made lending package, including finance for purchasing your franchise, capital expenditure and day to day working capital.
Easy day-to-day banking
One of the most important things about business banking is that your day-to-day needs are met seamlessly and simply. We can help there too, with a wide range of ways to do your banking, including:
- Local branches with ATMs
- 24 hour Personal Internet Banking or Internet Banking for Business
- 24 hour telephone banking
