18 Brands Now Participating At Leading Marketplace For Franchise Loans
San Francisco, July 10, 2015 – ApplePie Capital, the first marketplace lender solely dedicated to the franchise industry, today announced new partnership agreements with 101 Mobility, Metal Supermarkets, Massage Green Spa, and The Brass Tap.
The partnerships streamline the financing process for franchisees, enabling them to access loans of $100,000 to $1,000,0000 in 30 days or less to start, expand, remodel, refinance, or recapitalize their businesses. ApplePie Capital then offers individual and institutional investors seeking attractive fixed-income returns the ability to invest in those loans through their franchise loan marketplace.
“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to work with these high-quality brands, representing such a diverse cross section of American small businesses,” said ApplePie Capital CEO Denise Thomas. “We look forward to helping these companies and their franchisees quickly and efficiently achieve their growth targets.”

Massage Green Spa offers innovative and affordable health and wellness treatments in eco-friendly, luxury spas. The Brass Tap is an upscale craft beer bar that offers hundreds of varieties of beer along with music, entertainment, and the best in sports broadcasting.
