The franchise sector in Australia is booming, with over 1,200 franchise profiles (Frandata) and nearly 90% of them homegrown. 

As a broker or referral partner, you’re perfectly positioned to help your clients tap into the growing opportunities in this space—and Banjo is here to support you.

Why Franchise lending matters

Franchise businesses often need funding for expansion, refinancing, fit-outs, or acquisitions. With Banjo Loans’ franchise funding solutions, you can help your clients access loans between $20,000 and $2 million, tailored to their specific needs.

We’ve developed a formal accreditation program to streamline the lending process for franchise systems. This simple, less than 48 business hours process allows us to assess and approve franchise brands for funding, making it easier for you to guide your clients toward success.

What makes a Franchise attractive for Banjo?

  • Actively support their franchisees
  • Ensure franchisees can achieve profitability without excessive capital expenditure
  • Maintain transparency with lenders about their group’s strengths and challenges.
These factors give our credit team the confidence to lend and tailor solutions to meet your clients' needs.

How we work with our referral partners

Once a franchise system is accredited, it’s business as usual with Banjo’s standard lending policies. Loans up to $250,000 only require a streamlined bank statement assessment, keeping the process quick and straightforward.
