A loan adds payments. An investor adds capital and takes a share. For the right project, the right partner can be worth it.
When the project is big (a new concept, several locations) and the payments of a loan would be too heavy, or when the partner brings experience and connections, not just money.
We help you compare an investor with loan options and find partners who invest in restaurants on fair terms. Always have a lawyer review the agreement.
