Why this exists

Why the usual lenders say no.

Your revenue is real. The problem is the form. Here is why traditional underwriting turns away healthy operators in this space, and what we do differently.

01

Low liquidity

Banks often decline applications when personal liquidity is under 10 percent of the total loan amount.

Lenders in our network review historical unit cash flow instead of just personal liquidity.
02

Short operating history

Traditional banks often require three years of operating data for every individual franchise location.

Alternative lenders prioritize proven franchise models and management experience over long tenure.
03

Asset valuation gaps

Banks frequently undervalue used commercial kitchen equipment during the loan appraisal process.

We work with lenders who use standard equipment guidelines rather than subjective appraisals.
