Franfund made my funding journey easy

I used FranFund to structure my franchise launch through a ROBS rollover, and Laura Franklin made a genuinely complex process feel manageable. From the first conversation, she was direct about what was involved, what the timeline looked like, and what I needed to do at each step. No vague reassurances, just clear guidance.

The ROBS process involves a lot of moving parts across attorneys, custodians, and the franchisor, and Laura kept everything coordinated without me having to chase anyone. She was responsive, proactive when things needed to move, and patient when I had questions about pieces of the structure I didn't fully understand yet.

We're now at stock issuance and transitioning to the TPA team, exactly where we're supposed to be and on schedule. If you're a first-time franchisee funding through retirement assets, FranFund is the right call. Laura specifically is someone you can trust to get it done right.

I set up a ROBS-funded c-corp

Every person from the funding consultant to discuss options to the FranPlan specialist who walked me through and execute the process to the accounting specialist might have been the most superb and pleasant professionals with whom I have worked in a transaction. Extremely dependable, responsive, and informative. Great hiring on FranFund's part. The process was also well designed and clearly communicated. That creates / created a lot of trust with me as the TPA function for this type of C-Corp is important. Would and will highly recommend them to anyone. Big shout out to Tyler, Jesika, and Candice.

Stress‑free C‑Corp Setup and 401(k) Rollover

FranFund guided me through establishing my C‑Corp and rolling over my 401(k) to fund my business. The process was well organized with clear timelines and communication. Laura Franklin was outstanding—professional, patient with my many questions, and consistently prompt in her replies. Thanks to Laura, the entire experience felt far less stressful. I’d happily recommend FranFund to anyone starting a business.

I am a very happy customer

I am a very happy customer. I love to work with FrandFund. We had a great experience with doing ROBs with them. They specialist Robin Jacobs was always very helpful and professional. She did her best to walk us through this process easy. I appreciate her very much for doing her best for us. I wish her and her company the best. I can say to set up ROBs account is not easy process, I would recommend to anybody to use FrandFund in doing that. Thank you for helping us.

Smooth Funding Experience For A First-Time Business Owner

As a first-time business owner, I had numerous questions. The team at FranFun, especially Jess LaBorde and Jesika Merritt, took the time to answer all my questions. Once I made a decision, Jessika secured funding for my business in just a few weeks, keeping me informed every step of the way. I look forward to continuing my relationship with Franfund.

Working with FranFund was great!

Working with FranFund has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. Every member of the team I interacted with was incredibly responsive, thorough, and genuinely caring. They consistently took the time to explain each step clearly, ensured all details were handled with precision, and made me feel fully supported throughout the process.

It’s rare to find a group that combines professionalism with such a personal touch, but FranFund absolutely delivered on both fronts. I always felt like a priority, and that gave me tremendous peace of mind while navigating important financial steps.

I highly recommend FranFund to anyone considering their services—you’ll be in great hands.

Great Experience

FranFund made the whole SBA Loan experience easy. They walk you through all the steps and make sure you are ready to apply. Kimberly Ingram was very knowledgeable and communicated very effectively. She was always quick to respond to our questions. Overall, it was a great experience and worth the investment.

Great Experience

FranFund was a recommendation from my franchisee. From the time I reached out to them through the whole process Becca Carlock has been very professional and helpful. She explained every step of the process and was there to answer any and all of my questions.

I recently used Franfund to do a ROBs transfer to fund my new Franchise, and I found the process to be very simple, smooth and easy to complete. My Lead Plan Specialist, Jesika Merritt, was very knowledgable about the process and was able to promptly answer any questions I had, and was very responsive throughout the process, which I was able to complete from start to finish in just 3 weeks!

ROBS good, SBA Bad

I have two sides of what i was doing, one was SBA and the other was setting up a ROBS account. The ROBS account with Robyn was smooth and easy, no problem. The SBA process however was terrible, there was no communicaiton, i didnt get any bank offers until i asked about it 14 days later. The two people i spoke to that got me to pay my money, I never heard from again. Would not reccomend anyone use FRAN FUND for SBA lending.
