AAFD welcomes Unique Capital Management

a direct lender and a capital consultant specializing in franchise financing 

We are excited to introduce our latest Supplier Member Unique Capital Management, direct lender and capital consultant providing specialty in franchise financing with loan opportunities with loan terms, often materially better terms than 7a SBA loans and can require less equity, franchise specific programs structured to provide capital to start-ups and growth capital for expanding locations.  Recent examples:  

• EBITDA based loans: Loan amounts are 4.5x EBITDA for single cash flowing franchise store (no real estate needed) with similar fixed rates and 10-year amortizations, providing material capital for franchisee’s growth.  Plus, you can go from start to closing within 6 weeks.
   
• New startup franchise leased, provided several loan commitments at 5.94% fixed rate for 10 years (fixed at time of commitment, which again was this week, did not have to wait to fix rate at closing) with a 10-year amortization, lien solely the startup franchise business, no lien on other businesses nor other business assets, no lien on personal collateral, no lien on house.
