Want to start a Subway franchise?

by John Serand

If you have ever wondered what it would be like to have your own sandwich restaurant, but are hesitant because of the competition, fear no more. You can become a subway franchise owner and you will have the backing of a well-known sandwich shop with thousands of successful stores already.

Step 1:
Review the franchise program information on the Subway website and fill out the online form to request a brochure.

Step 2:
Register for an online seminar to find out more information. Attend one in your area to receive the most pertinent information. Subway also offers trade shows with valuable information on how to become a franchise owner.

Step 3:
Submit an online application to become a Subway franchisee. Required personal information on you, your spouse and partner (when applicable) include: education and business background, liquid and fixed assets and references. You also indicate a preferred geographical franchise area.

Step 4:
Learn more about the next steps while your application is being processed. You can find an area that is open for development, contact the regional sales manager with further questions or look into getting a loan for your Subway franchise.

Step 5:
Receive notification from the Subway development team that your franchise application is approved. A representative from Subway will help with the process once you have decided to become a franchise owner.

Step 6:
Secure a loan for your Subway franchise store. Loan amounts vary based on the location and size of the restaurant. Subway offers loan programs and financial support for all of their franchise owners.

Step 7:
Work with a Subway representative to purchase an existing Subway for sale or to find a location to build on.
