For most potential franchisees, the answer is no. While some franchisees choose to finance their store with cash, most choose to take advantage of low interest rates and borrow a vast majority of the investment from their bank or credit unions. There are many factors than can affect the amount of cash required by your bank such as credit history, specific bank requirements, debt-to-income ratio, SBA requirements, collateral, etc.
Jack in the Box does not provide financing at this time, but we work with many banks that have experience lending to our franchisees. We can share this list with you. There are many additional options for financing available:
Term loans from brick and mortar banks
Partnerships
Business Line of Credit
SBA Loans
Equipment Financing
etc.
With so many options for lending, it's important to understand what your options are and not rule out owning your own business until you've researched each option.

This is a one-time payment that gives you a license to own and operate your franchise business for an agreed upon number of years. The only time you’ll be required to pay this fee again, is at the end of your initial term if you decide to renew or extend the terms of your franchise agreement.
