    What Drives Cost Variation?

    Not all franchises cost the same, and that’s good because, in many cases, it allows you to control some of the variables. These variables let you shape the risk and investment to your comfort level while still operating in a proven model.

    Territory Size & Population Density

    More households and businesses = higher initial cost, but also more opportunities.

    Existing Assets

    If you’re converting an existing business, some costs may drop due to existing vehicles or supplies. We also offer roll-in discounts based on your existing HVAC business size. If starting fresh, you’ll need the full setup.

    Marketing & Branding

    Local advertising, signage, vehicle wraps, and more to help you put your best foot forward.

    Self-Capitalization

    Some franchise owners choose to launch their business from existing funds they’ve accumulated in a savings or money market account, inheritance, or from the sale of another business.

    Commercial Bank Loans

    Term loans provide upfront capital that are repaid monthly with interest. Because franchises come with proven models and brand recognition, lenders are often more willing to approve loans compared to independent startups.

    Franchisor Financing

    Check with your franchisor to see if they offer financing options for new owners. Some provide funding directly or through lender partnerships, often covering key startup costs like the franchise fee and equipment, making it easier to get up and running. Schedule a call with Neighborly to learn more about our franchisor financing options.

    Friends and Family Loans

    Borrowing from someone you trust, like a friend or family member, can be a flexible way to fund your franchise. Just be sure to put the terms in writing, ideally with a lower interest rate and a more generous repayment timeline than a traditional loan.

    Icons (3)-Jan-05-2026-06-04-32-8115-PM

    Alternative Lenders

    Alternative lenders offer loans similar to traditional banks but often with higher costs, smaller amounts, and shorter repayment terms. They're a common option for those who don’t qualify for standard loans. You can explore trusted providers through resources like Business News Daily.

    401(k) Investment Account Rollovers

    Rollovers as Business Startups (ROBS) is an often overlooked option for franchise funding. If you have an inactive IRA or 401(k), you could roll it over to fund your business. This option for financing a franchise is typically used in conjunction with an SBA loan.

    Small Business Administration (SBA) Loans

    SBA loans operate similarly to commercial bank loans but with lower interest rates and longer repayment timelines because the U.S. Small Business Administration guarantees a portion of the loan amount.

    Owning your future is within reach. Aire Serv offers multiple ways to fund your investment, 
so you can choose what works best for your financial situation.
