I met Gary Bacher the President of Franchise Lending Group 10 years ago through a phone call when we had three QSR locations and our retail bank still couldn’t get out of their own way to finance our growth. We’re now 20 locations, going on 25 and Gary has arranged financing all along the way. FLG is very well networked across a variety of lenders large and small and was able to fit our needs at every stage of our growth, be it new construction or acquisition, including our most recent $10 million acquisition along with a $7 million deal coming soon. FLG is very well versed in the franchise industry beyond financing and has brought us opportunities and is always available for guidance. They are very responsive, hardworking, stick with you through the entire process and “pick up the phone”, which is rare in these times of email, voice mail and text. We have big aspirations for growth and will be relying on Gary and FLG to make sure we have the lending partners in place to make it happen.

Six years ago I wanted to open my first Orange Theory. I did not want to go through SBA because I didn’t want to put my house on the line. At the time no bank would loan to Orange Theory. Franchise Lending Group connected me with the perfect lender. When I outgrew this bank they connected me to a new lender and even got my prepayment penalty waived. I now have 10 locations and Franchise Lending Group even helped me facilitate a sale. Couldn’t have done it without them.

I have been doing business with Gary and his company for many years. They are very professional. The thing that stands out is that they return calls immediately. I find that to be both unusual and refreshing. When comparing terms, I have always gotten he best ones from this company. Highly recommend!

I am a first time franchisee in an unproven concept. Nobody would finance an inexperienced franchisee much less finance a concept that was young and small. Franchise Lending Group came through big time and got me financed. With their guidance I now have 3 locations and am still growing and profitable.

Due to circumstances out of my control I found myself out of compliance with my bank. I was fearful that they would call my loan. Gary got the bank to back off, helped me get in compliance, and moved me to a less stringent bank. He saved my business and I am forever grateful.

Just 4 short years ago we had 1 Jersey Mike’s location. With Gary’s help and expertise, we now have 8 locations – all with 100% financing. Without FLG I seriously doubt we would have grown this fast.

We have been doing business with Gary for several years for our acquisitions. We get great advice and fantastic customer service. All terms are very competitive. Wish all our vendors were this good.
