Case Studies
The Model
In Action.
Real deals, real numbers, real operators. This is what full-stack capital execution looks like in practice.
From 20 Locations
to 37. One Transaction.
A Midwest Meineke operator needed to acquire 17 additional locations. The deal required funding across real estate, business acquisition, equipment, and tenant improvements. Simultaneously, quickly, with one counterparty.

The Problem
The operator needed capital across four different buckets (real estate, business, equipment, and TI) at the same time. Traditional lenders required separate facilities for each. That meant 4 lenders, 4 timelines, 4 sets of attorneys. The deal would have taken 6+ months and might not have closed at all.
The Solution
We structured a single full-stack transaction: NNN real estate acquisition, business purchase, equipment funding, and TI, all under one term sheet, one close, one timeline. Six months of free rent was built into the lease to give the operator a clean runway post-acquisition.
The Result
The operator went from 20 to 37 locations in a single transaction. They closed in 60 days from LOI. They're now the 2nd largest Meineke franchisee in the entire system, and have an ongoing development pipeline with Sierra Capital Club.
"Cole and his team structured a deal that let us focus entirely on running the business. The capital was there, the timeline was aggressive in a good way, and the execution was flawless. We couldn't have scaled this fast with any traditional lender."
