Help !

Hello there.

Please could somebody give me some advice ?

I am looking in to obtaining a franchise at a cost of £100,000. Trouble is I am not sure on the best way to finance this. I have about £130,000 equity in my home. I could remortgage and then possibly go to the bank for the rest ( if they would let me ). I understand banks are likely to offer a loan if it's a franchise rather than a brand new start up business. My bank said I would have to raise a third of the franchise cost. Any suggestions please ?
