Funding for Franchise Owners
A proven brand plus your unit's bank statements makes for clean underwriting — term loans for new units and mandated remodels, equipment financing for the required package.
Franchising trades some independence for a playbook — but the playbook bills you. Remodel mandates come with deadlines, equipment standards specify the exact package, royalty and ad-fund payments do not pause for a slow quarter, and the moment you prove one unit works, the obvious move is a second one you have to capitalize. Banks approve of franchises in principle and still drag a file through committee for months. Broadway works at deal speed: one short form, three months of bank statements, soft credit pull, same-day decision, funding in as little as 24 hours. Your franchisor sets the deadline; we help you hit it.
The challenge
Remodel mandates, equipment standards, and fees arrive on the franchisor's schedule, not yours. Banks like franchises in theory and still take months to fund one in practice.

My first unit is profitable — how do I fund the second one?
Your first unit is the application. Three months of its bank statements prove the model works in your hands, which makes a term loan — up to $5M on 3, 5, or 7-year terms — the natural fit for franchise fees, buildout, and the equipment package, with equipment financing carved out separately if that pencils better. Because we broker across 25+ funders, the deal gets shopped instead of stuck in one bank's committee. Same-day decision to start.
The franchisor gave me a remodel deadline I can't fund from cash flow — what are my options?
Mandated remodels are deadline problems, so match the tool to the clock. A term loan carries the full scope at the best rates if your credit is good; an advance can fund in as little as 24 hours if contractors need mobilizing now; many owners pair the two — fast money to start, cheaper money behind it. Bring the remodel scope and your statements. Missing a franchisor deadline has its own costs, and underwriters understand that math.
I'm buying my first franchise and have no operating history — can Broadway help?
Honestly: our core products underwrite on business bank statements, so a running business — yours or the unit you are acquiring — is what makes the file work. Buying an existing unit? The seller's revenue history can carry the deal. Starting from zero with a strong personal financial picture, a term loan may still be possible and we will tell you quickly either way. The application is one form and a soft credit pull, so the answer costs nothing.
