Franchise Consultants
Move candidates forward faster with practical funding guidance
Guidant helps franchise consultants answer financing questions earlier, guide stronger candidate conversations, and bring practical funding support to the journey.
Why Partner with Guidant
Guidant helps franchise consultants turn funding questions into forward motion. We provide practical talking points, clearer explanations of how ROBS and lending can fit into the broader picture, and better visibility into timing so consultants can guide candidates with more confidence and less guesswork.
A practical resource for real candidate conversations
Consultants need tools they can actually use with candidates. Guidant helps simplify ROBS, explain benefits clearly, and bring structure to funding discussions.
Full suite of lending services
We offer a range of business financing options that can be used with or without ROBS. SBA loans, unsecured loans, and portfolio loans. Many of these options can be combined to create a funding strategy tailored to your client’s needs.
Support earlier in the process
We help address funding questions before they become roadblocks, which can help candidates keep moving.
More than one answer
From ROBS education to lending coordination and broader business services, we help consultants bring a fuller solution to the table.
Better visibility for candidate planning
For consultants, Funding Timeline Predictability adds a practical benefit: more realistic expectations upfront and milestone-based updates that make timing conversations easier to manage with candidates.
A partner that supports the whole journey
Guidant helps candidates from funding exploration through launch and beyond.
