$330K Franchise Financing Secured for New Freshii Location in Vancouver

Client: Established Freshii Franchisee, Vancouver

Franchise financing for the acquisition and build-out of a new Freshii location in a competitive urban market

Property Value: Not disclosed (leasehold interest)

Loan Amount: $330,000

The client, an experienced Freshii franchise operator, identified a high-potential site in a busy Vancouver neighbourhood to expand their portfolio. Despite their proven track record and strong franchise performance, securing timely financing became a challenge. Traditional lenders required a 30% down payment and lengthy approval timelines, creating a risk of losing the lease opportunity to a competing brand.

The new location was part of a broader growth strategy, aiming to capitalise on rising demand for healthy fast-casual dining. With contractors and store designers already scheduled, delays in securing funding could have resulted in project setbacks and increased costs.

Syndicate Lending Corporation arranged a structured loan through a major chartered bank, offering favourable terms suited to the borrower’s business model. The loan was approved within three weeks, based on the franchise’s historic performance, financial projections, and market analysis.

The facility was structured as a short-term business loan with a fixed 4.95% interest rate, covering 70% of the project cost. The client contributed the remaining 30% in equity, ensuring a balanced and sustainable debt structure.

The new Freshii store launched on schedule, capturing early foot traffic and driving a 15% increase in the franchisee’s overall revenue within the first quarter. The successful financing and opening of the location also reinforced the franchisee’s credibility with the franchisor and paved the way for future expansion.
