Independent franchise consulting across Canada and the United States
Funding your business
Funding decides which franchises are genuinely available to you. We help you establish a realistic investment range first, then introduce you to funding specialists who work with franchise buyers every day.
What is your “fundability”?
Pre-qualifying tells you how much you can access and from which sources — and it means faster funding once you choose a brand, so you open sooner.
Funding options
Most owners use a blend rather than a single source. We walk through the structures, the true cost of each and the risk you are taking on, so the decision stays financial rather than emotional.
Use existing retirement savings to capitalise your business without early-withdrawal penalties or taxes.
SBA loans in the United States and BDC/CSBFP style lending in Canada, arranged through lenders who understand franchise economics.
Bank term loans, lines of credit and unsecured facilities for lower-cost, home-based or service franchises.
Finance vehicles, tooling and build-out equipment separately so your cash stays available for operating the business.
Financial readiness
A quick estimate of the investment range lenders and franchisors are likely to consider realistic for you. Nothing is sent anywhere until you choose to speak with us.

Funding partners
We work with independent funding partners rather than selling a product ourselves. They handle retirement rollover structures, government-backed loans, unsecured facilities, business plan preparation and equipment leasing — and they have seen thousands of franchise deals close.
You are introduced only when you ask. We do not receive a commission from lenders, and any pre-qualification you complete stays yours.
Rollover and loan structures set up by people who do this daily, not as a side service.
Funding advice separate from the brand recommendation keeps both honest.
We plan for the ramp-up months, not just the opening cheque.
