Atlanta, GA - Cincinnati-based commercial real estate and business finance advisory firm, Cornovus Capital, has successfully arranged financing for the build-out of a national restaurant franchise. This tailor-made capital stack encompassed interest carry, working capital, tenant improvements, FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment), and funds to fully stock inventory upon opening. Designed to ease immediate financial pressures during construction, the loan structure featured an interest-only period until the restaurant’s build-out was complete, at which point it converted to a 116-month fully amortizing business loan. Cornovus Capital partnered with a Midwest Bank to secure the loan.

By incorporating multiple financing elements under one comprehensive package, the restaurant’s ownership can streamline project costs and maintain cash flow throughout the construction phase. This approach allows for timely completion of renovations, strategic procurement of equipment, and thorough inventory preparation—ensuring that the franchise launches with maximum operational efficiency. Post-construction, the transition from interest-only payments to a longer-term amortization schedule offers predictable repayment terms and fosters long-term financial stability.

Leveraging over 60 years of combined industry experience, Cornovus Capital delivers creative financing solutions for a broad spectrum of commercial real estate and business ventures nationwide. Through well-established relationships with SBA lenders, CMBS providers, life insurance companies, hedge funds, private capital, and both regional and national banks, the firm tailors each loan structure to meet its clients’ strategic objectives.
