The most reliable long-term credit option is a Bond Payable made out to a financial institution. The cost to build one Royal Farms convenience store is approximately $1.25M, but the Royal Farms company makes about $611M in revenue each year, so the whole $1.25M will not need to be loaned by the financial institution, but about 75% of the necessary capital would cover the purchase of equipment, providing a huge help. Some other expenses would be paying lawyers in order to set up an international business, hiring employees, buying a property to do construction on, and supplies.
