Seeking Equity Partner for SBA-Financed Smoothie King Acquisition

Hi everyone,

I’m a recent finance and agribusiness graduate actively pursuing the acquisition of an established Smoothie King franchise and am looking for an experienced equity partner.

While I haven’t signed an LOI yet, I’m actively evaluating opportunities and building relationships with potential partners before moving forward. My primary need is a partner with the financial strength to help satisfy the SBA equity injection and personal guaranty requirements.

What I bring: • I will be a hands-on owner, actively involved in the business while working closely with the management team to drive growth and operational performance. • Finance, accounting, and business management experience. • Long-term vision of acquiring and growing multiple cash-flowing businesses. • Strong commitment to protecting investor capital and increasing the value of the business.

What I’m offering: • 60–70% equity to the equity/guarantor partner. • Active ownership and oversight on my end, with regular financial reporting and transparent communication. • Full access to financial models, due diligence materials, and acquisition details for serious discussions.

I’m looking for someone with experience in SBA lending, franchise investing, or small business acquisitions who is interested in building a long-term partnership.

If this aligns with your investment criteria, I’d love to connect and discuss the opportunity further. Thank you for your time.

Seeking Equity Partner/PG for 5-Unit Papa John’s Acquisition doing 700k+ EBITDA (SBA Financing)

Hi everyone,

I’m a recent finance and agribusiness graduate actively pursuing the acquisition of a 5-unit Papa John’s franchise portfolio and am looking for an experienced equity partner.

While I haven’t signed an LOI yet, I’m actively evaluating opportunities and building relationships with potential partners before moving forward. My primary need is a partner who can provide the equity injection and has the financial strength to serve as a personal guarantor for SBA financing.

One of the biggest strengths of this opportunity is that I already have an experienced operator committed to joining the team. He has over 20 years of experience owning and operating pizza franchises and has deep relationships within the Papa John’s system. He is willing to relocate to oversee day-to-day operations across all five stores, bringing extensive operational knowledge and franchise experience.

What I bring: • I will serve as the managing partner, overseeing above-store operations, financial performance, strategic growth, and expansion. • Finance, accounting, and business management experience. • A long-term vision of building a portfolio of successful franchise businesses. • A hands-on ownership approach focused on growing enterprise value while supporting the operations team.

What I’m offering: • 60–70% equity to the equity/guarantor partner. • Transparent communication, regular financial reporting, and full access to due diligence materials once a target has been identified. • A long-term partnership built around acquiring and growing cash-flowing businesses.

I’m looking to connect with investors who have experience with SBA-funded acquisitions, franchise investing, or entrepreneurship through acquisition. If this opportunity aligns with your investment criteria, I’d love to have a conversation and discuss how we could structure a mutually beneficial partnership.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to connecting.
