Buying the Best Business for You

The dream

Aaron had always wanted to run his own business. He’d been working two part-time jobs while looking for the right opportunity — and when a Bridgestone franchise came up in his area, he knew it was the one.

The challenge

Aaron didn’t tick the traditional lender boxes. He had no formal mechanical qualifications, didn’t own a property, and had never run a business before. Most banks would have turned him away.

But Aaron had something else going for him: real industry experience, a strong work ethic, solid savings, and the backing of a well-known franchise network that would provide training and support.

How CFI helped

CFI Finance looked at the full picture — not just the balance sheet. We assessed Aaron’s background, his savings discipline, the strength of the Bridgestone brand, and the franchise network’s training program.

The entire application was handled online with a paperless process. Aaron didn’t need to take time off work to get his finance sorted.

The outcome

Aaron was approved for a business loan and is now the proud owner of his own Bridgestone franchise. He went from juggling two part-time jobs to running his own business — with CFI Finance behind him every step of the way.
