First Franchise Capital Corporation

Going loco trying to finance your El Pollo? First Franchise Capital can help ease the franchise-operation crazies. Formerly Irwin Franchise Capital, the company provides conventional and Small Business Administration-backed loans of at least $100,000 to restaurant franchisees to acquire, build, remodel, or refinance new stores. It also offers financing for equipment and real estate. The company works with more than 50 restaurant brands and deals with franchisees of all sizes throughout the US. First Franchise Capital is a subsidiary of First Financial Bancorp, which assumed ownership of the company after acquiring the operations of the failed Irwin Financial in an FDIC-facilitated transaction in 2009.
