How it works

01

Tell us about your deal

New build, expansion, acquisition, refinance, or equipment — we handle all of it.

02

Submit your package

We tell you exactly which documents your deal type requires.

03

Review lender offers

Anonymized terms from three to five lenders. You pay only if your loan funds.

What we finance

Across SBA, conventional, and specialty programs, structured to fit the deal.

  • Single-unit franchise new builds
  • Multi-unit franchise expansion
  • Business & franchise acquisitions
  • Debt consolidation & refinance
  • Equipment & working capital
  • Commercial lines of credit
  • Commercial real estate (incl. SBA 504)
  • Specialty: ROBS, partner buy-outs, & more

Why brokers exist

Most franchisees end up at the wrong lender. Banks specialize in specific concepts, deal sizes, and structures — the lender funding Dunkin' new builds isn't the same one funding a salon chain or a CRE refi. We know who funds what across SBA, conventional, and specialty programs, and we package your file so it has the best possible chance of getting approved.

  • Franchise finance specialists

    This is all we do — not a side desk at a bank.

  • 3–5 offers per deal

    Submitted once to a matched lender panel.

  • SBA · conventional · specialty

    Whatever structure the deal actually needs.

  • No fee unless your loan funds

    Our incentive is a closed loan, not a pitch.

Going direct vs. going through us

On your own

  • Guessing which lenders actually fund your concept
  • Re-explaining your deal to every bank you call
  • Finding out mid-underwriting your file is missing documents
  • One offer, with no easy way to know if it's competitive

With Branch Capital Group

  • Matched to lenders who already fund your specific concept
  • One application, submitted once to your matched panel
  • File packaged to underwriting standards before submission
  • 3–5 offers, compared side-by-side
