The feature only we built

Your franchise loan, finally tracked.

Every franchise owner takes on debt — SBA loan, equipment lease, line of credit. Mercury and Ramp don't track payoff. Your accountant tracks it monthly. We track it live, in your Wallet, with refi alerts when rates drop.

"My franchise attorney sent me here. I had my LLC, EIN, bank, and card in 5 days. Now I open the app every morning to see my cash, my card spend, and how my SBA loan is shrinking. It's addictive."

Virtual Mailbox & Forwarding

Active

A real business street address that scans your mail the day it lands and forwards anything physical to you. Keep your home address private, and never miss a state notice or check.

Just got my refi closed at 6.1% from Live Oak (was 7.5%). David made it painless. Saved ~$22K over life of loan. Highly recommend running a refi check if your loan is 12+ mo old.

Question: Going into our second location buildout. What's your sequence — sign lease first, file foreign qualification first, or open the Mercury sub-account first? Jamie says foreign qual but want to hear from operators who've done it.
