Restaurants are risky credits for banks. These announcements are from two established chains. Both brands have been shrinking for a while and now are both in Bankruptcy. The question is what can you do to make a restaurant especially a non-franchise one easier to get financing. All of these things reduce the risk for the bank making it easier to loan your the money. -Strong leadership/industry experience. Someone who has successfully operated restaurants and can point to a history of success. -Bring equity and investors to lower the loan amount, the more equity you bring the better the chance of getting the loan. Minimum equity for an expansion is probably 10-20% and for start ups 20%+. -Be able to show the path to profitability, and have plenty of capital to burn should that take longer than expected. The more non borrowed cash you have on the balance sheet the more room for error the bank feels you have. -Think small, there is a lot more risk in a $5,000,000 project than in one that is $1,000,000. Think about how you can get started and show success and then think expansion. #SBA7a #money #economy https://lnkd.in/epiQV8Bw

I'm excited to announce that we have just kicked off one of our most exciting financing initiatives to date! Today, Odd Burger has launched a CAD $4M convertible debenture with a 15% annual interest rate over the next 3 years and a conversion option at $0.25. Here is why I love this deal for both investors and the company: ▶ Provides a high interest rate for investors locked in over the next three years, in an environment when rates are coming down. ▶ Allows investors to convert if our stock price rises, providing potentially even higher returns. We are a public company on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV: ODD). ▶ Provides capital to Odd Burger to execute on our expansion plans. Odd Burger is nearing profitability and further financing will help to accelerate this. We are already seeing a lot of interest in this financing, so please reach out if you want to be part of this or would like book in a meeting with me to learn more. #investing #publiccompany #vegan #plantbased #fastfood #franchising #stocks #debenture #privateplacement #tsxv

4 things you can do to prepare for Current Market Conditions in Restaurant M+A! In case you missed our CEO and Founder, Lauren Fernandez's insights on current M+A conditions in the restaurant industry and the 5 key trends you need to know about here is the takeaway. What can we take from the current state of M+A in the Restaurant Industry? 📈 For Buyers: Seize strategic deals now. Consider using cash initially and refinancing later. 📊 For Owners: Invest heavily in consumer data, tracking, and loyalty programs. This will drive improved ULE now and demonstrate your command of this data during future transactions. 🤝 For MUFOs: Consider offering a standing invitation to fellow franchisees to discuss consolidation opportunities. 📅 Market Readiness: Be prepared for when the interest rate (IR) drops, possibly around election time. Companies looking to sell will likely take advantage of this window. A wave of M+A activity could occur in a narrow timeframe when the IR dips.
