The partnership between leaders in franchising consulting and the fintech market creates a financial tool that the Ukrainian scaling market has never seen before.<\/p>\n\n

Franchise Group \u2014 a consulting company with 13 years of experience and a portfolio of over 620 created franchises \u2014 and Activitis, a fintech infrastructure for business that was the first in Ukraine to launch installment services for businesses, announce a joint product: installment payments for franchise creation and business scaling. For the first time, a Ukrainian entrepreneur can turn their business into a network without freezing capital or waiting for it to “accumulate.” <\/p>\n\n

Scaling is no longer a privilege<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Until today, creating a franchise required a large one-time investment. For most small and medium-sized businesses, this meant one thing \u2014 waiting. Waiting for better times, higher turnover, the “right moment.” In reality, this moment never came for many, while the market was taken over by those who had the resources immediately. <\/p>\n\n

Installment payments for franchise creation <\/a>change this logic. The entrepreneur receives a full range of franchise creation services from Franchise Group \u2014 from the financial model and standardization to the marketing strategy and franchising package \u2014 and pays gradually thanks to Activitis. <\/p>\n\n

This is not a loan or classic financing. It is an embedded financial tool created specifically for business scaling. <\/p>\n\n

Ukraine 2030 – the most franchisable country in Europe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

The launch of this product is a step toward an ambitious goal shared by both partners: to make Ukraine the most franchisable country in Europe by 2030.<\/p>\n\n

The prerequisites for this already exist. Ukraine has one of the most entrepreneurial nations on the continent \u2014 hundreds of thousands of small businesses that operate, grow, and withstand the most difficult circumstances. In a 2026 report, the OECD notes that business demand for hryvnia financing in Ukraine is at its highest since 2021, and Ukraine is among the countries with the highest annual growth rates for MSMEs \u2014 around 23%. The National Bank of Ukraine also recorded an acceleration in MSME financing: in Q3 2025, the volume of MSME loans grew by 7.7% per quarter and by 32.5% year-on-year, while the share of MSMEs in the banks’ business portfolio was 60.8%. Over 13 years, Franchise Group has created an ecosystem that includes consulting, education, sales, and a franchisor community. Activitis has financed businesses for over one billion hryvnias and built a financial infrastructure that simply did not exist before. No less important is the fact that franchising in Ukraine already has a real scale. According to market participants, in 2024\u20132025, there were about 500\u2013600 franchising players and approximately 31,500 franchising units operating in Ukraine. This indicates that franchising in Ukraine has long moved beyond a “niche” model and has become a full-fledged growth mechanism for businesses in various sectors \u2014 from retail and HoReCa to services. <\/p>\n\n

What was missing was a bridge between expertise and financial accessibility. Installment payments for franchise creation are that bridge. <\/p>\n\n

What this means for the entrepreneur<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

A business owner who dreamed of scaling but postponed it due to a financial barrier can now start immediately. Without withdrawing money from turnover. Without searching for an investor. Without a pause to “accumulate.” <\/p>\n\n

Behind them stands a team of over 20 Franchise Group experts who have guided more than 620 businesses through the franchise creation process. And a financial partner who understands the specifics of small business because they work with it every day. <\/p>\n\n

This involves two key areas of cooperation: making Franchise Group’s services more financially accessible for businesses and expanding financial opportunities in the franchising market. Therefore, it is not limited to franchise creation \u2014 it also includes an embedded financial tool for the network from eDilo: payment of invoices from franchisee suppliers for equipment<\/a>, raw materials, and other operational needs without collateral, guarantees, or currency risks. <\/p>\n\n

Why this is important for the market<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Franchising is one of the most effective mechanisms for scaling, job creation, and economic recovery. But in Ukraine, it has so far been available mainly to those who already have significant capital. Installment payments democratize access to franchising and open it to a much wider range of entrepreneurs \u2014 including in regions where every new business and every new job is of strategic importance. <\/p>\n\n

In the long run, this opens up more than just the opportunity to create a franchise. It forms an approach where financial tools can support both the franchising package itself and the subsequent work of the franchisee \u2014 including the payment of invoices for necessary goods and services. <\/p>\n\n

When scaling becomes accessible, the entire economy grows. <\/p>\n\n

The growth of the Ukrainian economy is the main goal of this partnership.<\/p>\n\n

Partner comments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

\u201cWe have been working for 13 years to make scaling clear and systematic. Now, together with Activitis, we are making it accessible as well. This is a logical next step \u2014 and probably the most anticipated one in the market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u2014 Myroslava Kozachuk, owner and CEO of Franchise Group<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u201cActivitis was created to provide businesses with financial tools that did not exist before. Installment payments for franchise creation are exactly such a tool. We believe that Ukrainian small businesses deserve the opportunity to grow without financial stress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
