We  clarify your financing options and introduce you to trusted lending partners to streamline the process—so you can focus on building your franchise with confidence.

Get started

See how much you need and where to get it

Financing your franchise can be a maze of options, each with its own advantages, requirements, and fine print. From SBA loans and the flexibility of ROBS (Rollover for Business Startups) to exploring private equity, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the choices.

That’s where we come in. Our guidance services don’t just explain the options—we help you understand your own financial picture, clarify which solutions are the best fit, and connect you with the right financial partners to get started.

With us, you’ll have the clarity and connections you need to fund your franchise confidently.

SBA loans

One of the most popular financing options for franchise owners, offering competitive rates, extended repayment terms, and a government-backed guarantee that makes lenders more likely to approve your loan.

These loans are especially valuable for first-time franchisees looking to secure lower monthly payments as they build their business.

However, navigating the SBA loan process can feel overwhelming, with specific requirements and detailed paperwork.

We simplify the process—helping you understand eligibility, guiding you through each step, and connecting you with experienced SBA lenders who specialize in franchise financing.

ROBS program

The Rollover for Business Startups (ROBS) program offers a unique way to fund your franchise using your retirement savings—without taking on debt or early withdrawal penalties.

A ROBS plan allows you to invest funds from your 401(k) or IRA directly into your franchise, giving you a debt-free head start on building your business.

While ROBS can be a powerful financing tool, it’s essential to understand its legal and financial requirements. Our guidance ensures you’re fully informed, helping you navigate the setup process, meet compliance standards, and connect with trusted ROBS providers to confidently launch your franchise.

Private equity

Private equity offers a powerful financing option for franchisees looking to bring on experienced investors who provide both capital and strategic guidance.

By partnering with private equity firms, franchise owners gain access to significant resources and industry expertise—often helping accelerate growth, streamline operations, and enhance brand positioning.

However, working with private equity involves careful consideration of partnership terms, ownership shares, and long-term goals. We help you assess if private equity is the right fit, walk you through the investment landscape, and connect you with reputable firms ready to invest in your success.
