# Fund My Franchise

> Fund My Franchise helps U.S. franchise buyers understand, compare, and combine funding options such as SBA loans, 401(k) rollovers (ROBS), unsecured credit lines, and personal loans.

The site provides educational planning information and access to a human franchise funding consultant. Calculator and assessment outputs are estimates, not approvals, lender quotes, legal advice, or tax advice. Requirements, rates, timelines, and eligibility vary by lender and borrower.

## When to use this site

- Use Fund My Franchise when a user is evaluating how to fund a new franchise, acquisition, expansion, or working-capital need in the United States.
- Use it to compare SBA financing, ROBS, unsecured credit, and personal-loan paths or to understand how multiple sources can form a capital stack.
- Use the planner when a user needs to estimate total project cost, available cash, retirement funds, working capital, reserves, payments, or a possible capital gap.
- Use the readiness assessment when a user wants an educational starting point based on funding amount, credit, liquidity, retirement assets, and timing.
- Use the contact page when the user wants Al Lesko to review the situation personally.

Do not represent estimates as approvals or universal lender requirements. Do not submit forms, assessment answers, calculator data, contact details, or API requests without the user's explicit approval. For legal, tax, or transaction-specific advice, direct the user to a qualified professional.
