Built for franchise retail.
Designed around unit cash flow.

A new unit needs a fee, a buildout, fixtures, and inventory before the doors open. We match capital to that timeline so the stores you already run are not the bank.

Buildout and Fixtures Without the Cash Hit

Finance the franchise fee, leasehold improvements, fixtures, and POS with predictable monthly payments. Keep operating cash free for inventory and payroll.

Inventory and Opening Cash

Working capital and sales-based options for opening inventory, a slow season, or payroll while a new unit ramps. Payments can flex with card volume.

The Next Location

Fund a second or third unit, a refresh, or an additional territory. We structure the payment around existing-store cash flow so growth does not starve the registers.

Franchise Retail Financing Questions

Straight answers about franchise and multi-unit retail financing.

What types of franchise retail financing do you offer?
We help franchisees and multi-unit retailers with equipment and fixture financing, working capital, sales-based advances, buildout and next-unit funding, inventory, franchise fees, and SBA on eligible brands. ROBS is an option when retirement funds are the liquidity a franchisor wants to see. We match the product to the unit.
How fast can a franchise retailer get approved and funded?
Many operators receive competitive offers within hours. Once you accept and provide documents, funding often occurs in as little as 5 business days, and sometimes faster when funds go to a vendor.
What credit score do franchise retailers need?
We work with operators who have credit scores as low as 550. Approval is driven more by store revenue, cash flow, time in business, and equipment value than by personal credit alone.
What store equipment can be financed?
Fixtures, coolers, shelving, POS hardware, and the equipment pack a franchisor requires. New and used equipment are typically eligible when the vendor and the cost are documented.
Is a merchant cash advance a good fit for retail?
For retailers with consistent card volume, yes. You receive a lump sum and repay a small percentage of daily card sales. Busy weeks pay more. Slow weeks pay less.
How much does it cost to work with Co. Buy Sell?
There is no upfront cost or application fee. We are compensated by the lender only when financing funds. We shop multiple funders for the unit you are opening.
