To qualify as a Scooter’s Coffee franchisee, you must have access to at least $100K liquid capital, meaning cash, including savings, or any assets that can be liquidated quickly.

Just as important as having enough working capital is being motivated and passionate about the brand. Our ideal candidate wants to grow with the company and eventually own multiple units. While previous business ownership is not required, we do prefer that you have leadership experience and a keen interest in the day-to-day details of running a business.

So, if you have the ability, the passion and the capital to partner with a coffee industry leader, please fill out our online form or call 877.494.7004 to talk to one of our consultants about joining the Scooter’s Coffee family today.

Financing Partnerships

One of the most important aspects of building any successful business, including a franchise, is understanding how to fund your business. With multiple financing options and lenders, you’ll need to spend some time figuring out which option is best for you.

Over the past few years, Scooter’s Coffee has built strategic partnerships with three lending institutions, DCV Franchise Group, KeyBank and ApplePie Capital.    

• DCV Franchise Group is a true strategic partner to the franchise industry. Their team will actively work with you to ensure an easy process as you apply for SBA loans. Priding themselves off a perfect success rate, they help you map out how to deploy your capital most effectively while strengthening your passion for the brand.
• KeyBank, one of the nation’s largest SBA lenders, can help streamline the lending and approval process for franchise partners and offers Scooter’s franchisees tailored financial solutions for their business.
• ApplePie Capital helps franchisees establish and maintain their finances with key insights, support and guidance. Being proven leaders in the franchise financing world, they’ve committed to offering new and existing franchisees access to up to $20 million in debt capital to support expansion across the nation.

All three of our lending partners have committed to helping our franchisees build their first Scooter’s Coffee location or expand with new locations because they’ve not only seen the numbers, but because they also believe in our brand mission just as much as we do.

If you haven’t yet considered or decided on how you plan to finance your business, not to worry, our team will help you work through the process and connect you with one or more of our lending partners when the time is right.
