Scaling from one location to many takes more than ambition — it takes smart financing. In this highlights episode, we dig into how successful operators structure funding for multi-unit franchise growth.
First, Crumbl franchisees Taylor Byington and Shideleler Bennett share how they raised friends-and-family money, the mistakes that left them cash-strapped, and the smarter financing structure they’d use if they could start over. Then, Kal Gullapalli — a multi-brand operator with over 100 units — breaks down how larger deals are financed, from equity splits and debt terms to lender relationships and fund structures.
If you’re planning to grow beyond a single unit, this episode shows how top franchisees finance the leap.
