Pakistani banks and investors are moderately supportive of franchising, offering loans and investment mostly to established or well-branded franchises, but funding for startups can be limited and cautious.

Pakistani banks and investors do support franchising, but it often feels slower and tougher than you’d hope. Banks prefer well-known brands and strong financials, so newcomers sometimes feel brushed off. Investors are interested, but they want clear numbers and quick returns. When you have a solid plan and a trusted brand, though, the support suddenly feels much more real and encouraging.
