How do I Obtain Capital for Investing in the Krispy Kreme Franchise?

Even though the Krispy Kreme franchise has been in business for a number of years, you may not have an easy time obtaining a loan.  Among other things, a traditional banker is likely to consider the fact that Dunkin Donuts and other donut making facilities are in the neighborhood.  They will also look at the fact that a number of Krispy Kreme outlets in the franchise's home territory have closed in recent years.  That said, you may be able to gain capital from a high-risk lender.  In some cases, you may also want to approach the SBA, and see if  you meet the requirements for any of the special programs that they offer.
