SCP helps prospective and established franchisees address two of their biggest challenges when buying or growing a franchise: financing their business and finding good employees .

SCP is not a typical lender. As a privately-financed not-for-profit organization, our mission is to enable franchisees to meet their business objectives while creating a positive social impact in their communities. We do this by facilitating access to a Franchise Growth Fund exclusively for Community-Minded Franchises. Established in 2006, our Franchise Growth Fund provides socially-responsible franchisees with an attractive and reliable source of subordinate debt financing. In return, franchisees commit to expand career opportunities to individuals who have faced employment barriers in the past, but are now job-ready and eager to return to the workforce.
