Training & Support
Joining the Koodo franchise means receiving comprehensive onboarding to ensure you understand all processes before launching, which can happen in as little as 7 days. You will receive in-depth training on utilizing the cloud-based software and executing the loan process workflow. Once operational, you benefit from ongoing webinars, workshops, and updates on best practices. Furthermore, you are assigned a personal business franchise manager to help troubleshoot any challenges that arise along the way.
What You Get
When you invest in this franchise (with a once-off sign-up fee of R75,000), you gain access to a cutting-edge, cloud-based loan management system that handles application tracking, automated repayments, and performance analytics. You receive a proprietary, automated digital marketing system designed to guarantee a steady stream of loan leads. The package also includes built-in risk mitigation and fraud prevention measures, full regulatory compliance assistance, and the data-driven framework needed to seamlessly scale your loan book from anywhere with just a laptop and an internet connection.
Ideal Franchisee
The ideal franchisee is an organized, tech-savvy individual with a strong work ethic who is looking for a scalable business that can be run remotely, even as a side hustle. While a lack of microfinance experience is not a barrier due to the comprehensive support and automated tools provided, the successful candidate must have starting capital to lend (minimum R10,000) and the discipline to follow the proven vetting and collection procedures to minimize default risks and maximize returns.
