This page is for someone who needs a Grill’d franchise loan to buy a franchise in Grill’d.
Grill’d has grown to become one of the largest sellers of healthy burgers in Australia.
If you want to tap into a market shift to healthy and convenient meal options, a Grill’d franchise finance loan might be just what you need to begin a new business venture.
How much can I borrow?
Depending on the strength of your case, you may be eligible for the following:
- New or existing restaurant: Borrow up to 50% of total business costs or 100% with an existing residential property as security.
- The bank will generally require a business plan and profit forecasting for the franchise.
- Loan term: Typically 10 years or the length of the franchise agreement.
- Loan term with property as security: 25 to 30 years (standard loan term).
- Low doc options not available.
- Commercial rate discounts available by mortgage broker negotiation.
Can I get residential interest rates?
Even if you’re using equity in your property as security, the bank will still charge interest rates in line with a franchise or commercial loan.
These rates are a little bit higher than standard residential loans because of the risk involved in business finance.
However, we have strong relationships with a number of lenders and can often negotiate reduced interest rates depending on the strength of your application.

What do the banks look at?
As a general rule, you’ll need to provide or meet the following requirements for a Grill’d franchise loan:
- 2 years personal financial or business statements depending on your previous experience.
- A clear credit history.
- A business plan showing potential revenue and forecasting on operation costs.
- Experience: There is no hard and fast rule with this but you can help your application if you have industry experience and past success as an owner or manager of similar-sized venture.
- Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA): Typically 1.5x.
Tip: existing stores are more readily accepted than opening a brand new restaurant.
The reason is that the existing location may already have foot traffic and existing customers which you can leverage.
Because of this, banks see them as a lower risk and are often willing to allow you to borrow at a higher Loan to Value Ratio (LVR).
