Five Guys receives $1 million investment boost

May 12, 2011

United Capital Business Lending, a subsidiary of BankUnited, has announced that it is providing $1 million in financing to Five Guys Burgers and Fries owner, Franchise Kings LLC.

United Capital refinanced two existing stores for the New Jersey-based franchisee and also will provide funding to open one additional Five Guys location. With the new site, Franchise Kings, LLC will own and operate five Five Guys restaurants.

United Capital Business Lending, which recently acquired the small business lending operations of Butler Capital, is a subsidiary of BankUnited, the largest bank in Florida with more than $11 billion in assets. The newly formed United Capital Business Lending now brings the prior experience of Butler Capital together with the financial strength of BankUnited.

In addition to Five Guys, the United Capital team has financed franchisees for Burger King, Subway, Dunkin’ Donuts, Taco Bell, Checkers, Denny’s, Wing Stop, Jimmy John’s, and Buffalo Wild Wings, among others.
