About Branch Capital
Built by brokers who close deals.
Branch Capital LLC is a franchise and small business loan brokerage. We match borrowers with the right SBA-preferred and conventional commercial lenders — and we package files in a way that gives them the best chance of getting funded.

What sets us apart
- Lender panel matched to your concept. We don't send your file to a generic list. Our lenders are pre-qualified for the specific franchise and business types we source.
- Full document packaging. Most brokers hand the lender a half-built file. We prepare it to underwriting standards.
- No fee unless you fund. Our compensation is contingent on a closed loan. If you don't fund, you owe nothing.
- SBA Form 159 compliant. All borrower-paid fees are properly disclosed on SBA-funded deals.
