In 2016 I decided to take on a new career and to purchase a franchise. We selected 18|8 Fine Men's Salons for our franchise and knew Palm Springs (CA) was the ideal spot and all we needed was funding! We used a ROBS (Rollover Business Startup) to get our initial funding and then had to find the rest of our funding through SBA. We were referred to FranFund and it was the best decision we ever made! Not only were they experts on franchise funding but they knew how to guide us through the process every step of the way. Their expertise was invaluable for us since this was the first time we had ever dealt with the SBA process and the many times we became anxious during the process they held our hand and assured us all would be alright and it was! Kimberly Ingram was amazing and so responsive regardless of how crazy or annoying the email may have been and her expertise was spot on! David Murray gave us the time we needed to review and to adjust as our needs changed and like Kimberly his professionalism and patience made the process not only successful but he and the team exceeded our expectations! Thank you guys and thank you for helping us make our dream come true! Ed McBride, President of MCGI, Inc. read more

I had a fantastic experience working with the FranFund team! I was referred to Mariah Bohn as I was setting up my franchise and she explained a very complicated process with ease. I then worked with Joe Landon on the numbers and he challenged me to look at things a bit differently. Joe gave me options to choose from and I appreciated the time he took to explain them. Once Joe found the right SBA lending partner that matched my business I worked with Kimberly Ingram to run through the checklist of requirements. Kimberly was in the loop with all communications I had with the lender and helped me bridge any gaps. Each transition was smooth and well managed. Everyone was pleasant to work with and I look forward to working with them in the future. read more

In August I closed on the purchase of my ComForCare Franchise and I don't know how I could have done it without FranFund. Jennifer Collinsworth, my Plan Administration Specialist and Jessica Smith, my Production Specialist, were invaluable resources; Jennifer especially went above and beyond in helping me close this deal. During the last week before closing I was on the phone with her constantly. She would drack down any information I needed, returned my calls faster than my own grandmother sometimes and kept my spirits up during times when I thought the deal may not go thru. As a first time business owner this service was invaluable and I would recommend them to any new business owner! read more

FranFund provided support to get a loan for our new store. We were extremely happy with the service provided by FranFund. We engaged them very early in the process, they were able to secure a loan for us at the very beginning of this process and patiently stay with us for over a year guiding us in every step of the process to gather all documentation required to close the loan. Because of their continuous support and proactive actions and permanent follow ups, the loan process was painless and stress free for us. Shay Mora was very responsive, and took immediate action to our requests and questions. I would not hesitate to use FranFund again for our next store. read more

Our franchise advisor referred us to FranFund to secure SBA financing for our first franchise, a Club Pilates. We worked with Joe Landon and Kimberly Ingram. They were absolutely wonderful. Both were very patient with our questions and took the time to reply thoughtfully and provided both the right type of information and necessary level of detail for us to make the best decisions possible. They were responsive to our needs, and kept us informed and updated along the process. We would unequivocally recommend Joe and Kimberly, and FranFund in general, to anyone looking to finance their franchise business. read more

We used FranFund to help us find a SBA lender for our first franchise. Shay was amazing and guided us through the process. She also kept checking in with us when we were connected with a lender. When had multiple options of lenders to choose from right away. We were hesitant at first to use a broker, and tried to reach out to banks on our own. That did not work out at all and we wasted time during the process. IMHO their fee is totally worth it. Saves time and stress, and unnecessary hard credit checks. Highly recommend for your franchise funding!! read more

We were referred to FranFund setting up our franchise 1 years ago. From the beginning to the close of our loan, FranFund helped us giving advice and walking us through the the brain damage of paper work that comes with an SBA Loan, any one using the SBA understands where we are coming from.Props to Shay, Holly, and the team that guided and supported us during the long process of setting up a corporation and acquiring the funding we needed. We cant say enough about this wonderful company !!! Steve & Julie B read more

Thanks to the folks at FranFund for making my life sooooo much easier during a stressful time! Starting up a new business can be overwhelming.
