Multi-location & expansion funding
Open the next location without starving the last one.
The hardest part of a second or third location is paying for it while the first one keeps running. Bayside is a Miami-based capital advisory firm. We help established owners structure expansion funding around the cash flow they already have, so growth doesn’t put the original business at risk.

Where the cash gets stuck
Every new location borrows from the ones you already have.
The original location pays for everything
Without outside capital, the build-out, the deposits and the hiring come out of the reserves that run the business today.
The new site takes time to break even
Payments start before the new location earns. The structure has to survive that ramp.
Lenders underwrite the whole business
Debt service coverage — the cash you generate against what you owe in payments — is measured across every location. One weak site or heavy MCA payments can hold back the next approval.
Each deal shapes the next
The structure you choose for location two decides what you can get for location three.
Funding options
Expansion funding that protects the core business.
We compare options across a network of independent funding partners and explain which ones fit your situation, not just what is easiest to sell.
Business line of credit
Draw in stages as build-out, deposits and opening costs come due. Pay interest only on what you use.
Compare options → 02Term loans & SBA
Fixed payments for a defined expansion. When the file supports bank or SBA terms, they are usually cheaper than short-term options.
Compare options → 03Equipment financing
Fit out the new location with the equipment as collateral, so the expansion budget goes further.
Compare options → 04MCA consolidation
Clean up existing MCA debt before you expand. Lower payments can reopen bank and SBA options for the expansion itself.

Client stories
Real projects. Real numbers.
An 8-year-old Miami restaurant was opening a second location and paying for the build-out out of the first one’s reserves.
We structured a $125,000 revolving line of credit instead of another MCA, so the owner could draw in stages as contractor payments came due.
The build-out finished without draining the original location. The owner is now planning a third.

Who we work with
Built for established operators.
Bayside works with established businesses, usually with at least two years in business, around $40K or more in monthly revenue, and a funding need of $100K or more. What each lender requires depends on the product.
You may be a strong fit if you run:
- Restaurant groups opening another location
- Healthcare practices adding an office
- Fitness and wellness operators adding a studio
- Service and trade companies opening a new branch or yard
Before you apply
What lenders look at before they fund location two.

Quick questions
Multi-location funding, answered.
Can the new location qualify on its own?
Usually not. A new site has no operating history, so lenders underwrite the business you already run. Your current locations’ cash flow carries the file.
Should I clean up existing MCA debt before I expand?
If the payments take a large share of your deposits, often yes. Consolidating first can lower payments and reopen bank and SBA options for the expansion itself. We show you both sequences side by side.
Is this only for restaurants?
No. Expansion funding works the same way across industries: restaurants, healthcare practices, fitness studios, service and trade companies. What changes is the collateral and how lenders read your revenue.
Do you work with businesses outside Miami?
Yes. We are based in Miami and focused on South Florida, and our lender network serves qualified businesses nationwide.
