The fitness franchise system INJOY and the Cologne-based financial services provider abcfinance have concluded a cooperation agreement. This was announced at this year's Inline Congress in Berlin on February 21-22, 2018. All operators of INJOY gyms can now apply for an individual leasing line, similar to an overdraft facility or credit line, free of charge.
INJOY expands and invests
Studio operators are to have the opportunity for uncomplicated financing of their equipment and facilities through the cooperation with the financial partner. The INJOY franchise chain and parent company INLINE, a management consultancy, have been part of the Swiss part of the Swiss Migros Group. Since then, INJOY has been on an expansion course, which entails a high need for investment in existing studios as well as in the establishment of new locations.
"The unbroken trend towards high-quality training with state-of-the-art equipment, technology and an appealing ambience promises excellent growth opportunities," says Cristina Brandtstetter, Managing Director of INLINE Unternehmensberatung. "It must be possible for our franchisees to make investment decisions quickly. With abcfinance, we have a financial partner on our side that not only has excellent industry experience, but also the professionalism of 40 years of experience."
abcfinance: financial and organizational relief
As a financial service provider for leasing, installment plan and factoring, abcfinance primarily supports customers from German-speaking SMEs with their investment projects. "Our financing solutions are an ideal fit for customers from the fitness industry. We offer maximum financial and organizational relief for INJOY operators with all-round worry-free packages and flexible installment processes," explains Frank Adler, regional manager and fitness industry expert at abcfinance.
He was immediately won over by the idea of working with INJOY/INLINE: "INJOY has an excellent reputation and we are glad to have won the company as our partner."
It often happens that house banks and suppliers from outside the industry lack an understanding of the industry or have little knowledge of the objects (e.g., computerized Circuit Training), which then causes them to react cautiously. By working with someone who knows the fitness industry, these problems are a thing of the past and further growth can be generated.
