Seeking lender open to acquisition financing (no lien on primary residence)

I’m the owner-operator of two successful U.S. franchise businesses — both doubled in revenue within two years of acquisition. I’m now pursuing a third franchise opportunity valued between €1.5M and €1.7M (USD equivalent). I’ve already confirmed that my SBA lender is willing to finance 100% of the deal, but I’m exploring alternative lenders or private financiers who can offer similar terms without placing a lien on my primary residence. Both existing businesses are profitable, with strong cash flow, disciplined operations, and a proven growth record. If you’re open to creative, collateral-light lending structures, I’d be glad to connect. JB Entrepreneur | Multi-Unit Franchise Operator

Hi Anon - nice to meet you. I would love to take a look at this deal. Send me a DM and let's start working together. I am confident we can get a better rate for you if everything checks out. Our volume combined with a 30+ lender network ensures we can get some better pricing for you. We have a lot experience financing franchises via the SBA. If you ever need help talking through a deal, I am happy to help. We work with all the major SBA lenders. The bank pays us after your loan closes, so this is a 100% free service for you. You can email me directly at redacted or schedule a meeting with me: redacted. Look forward to chatting!

Hi JB, if I might ask where are the existing and proposed businesses located? I may have some conventional options available depending on geography. redacted
