About Buying a Franchise � Acquiring a Franchise � Most Owner/Operators enter the System by purchasing an existing restaurant, either from Mc. Donald’s or from a Mc. Donald's Owner/Operator. A small number of new operators enter the System by purchasing a new restaurant. � The financial requirements vary depending on the method of acquisition. � Financial Requirements/Down Payment � An initial down payment is required when you purchase a new restaurant (40% of the total cost) or an existing restaurant (25% of the total cost). The down payment must come from non-borrowed personal resources, which include cash on hand; securities, bonds, and debentures; vested profit sharing (net of taxes); and business or real estate equity, exclusive of your personal residence. � Since the total cost varies from restaurant to restaurant, the minimum amount for a down payment will vary. Generally, we require a minimum of $500, 000 of nonborrowed personal resources to consider you for a franchise. Individuals with additional funds may be better prepared for additional or multi-restaurant opportunities. � Financing � We require that the buyer pay a minimum of 25% cash as a down payment toward the purchase of a restaurant. The remaining balance of the purchase price may be financed for a period of no more than seven years. While Mc. Donald’s does not offer financing, Mc. Donald’s Owner/Operators enjoy the benefits of our established relationships with many national lending institutions. We believe our Owner/Operators enjoy the lowest lending rates in the industry.
