Who We Serve

Deep Expertise in Two Critical Verticals

BCS doesn't try to be everything to everyone. We go deeper where we have proven, differentiated results.

Vertical One

Fast-Casual & Multi-Unit Franchise Operators

"We help fast-casual and multi-unit franchise operators secure bank-level financing for new units, refinancing, and leasehold expansions — using the same underwriting standards the bank will apply before they ever see your package."

  • New unit development financing
  • Multi-unit refi and leasehold expansion
  • Franchise SBA & conventional lending
  • Equipment and remodel financing
  • FDD underwriting navigation
  • Global cash flow & DSCR structuring
Vertical Two

Middle-Market Borrowers in Workout / Bank-Exit Scenarios

"When your bank is asking you to leave, we quarterback the exit — workout strategy, alternative capital sourcing, and a clean narrative for the next lender — so you refinance out before the relationship becomes litigation."

  • Loan workout strategy & bank-exit planning
  • Alternative capital sourcing for stressed loans
  • Clean narrative packaging for new lenders
  • Bridge-to-refi structuring
  • Complex-scenario team assembly
  • Expert witness engagements (bank & client side)
Our Services

Three Revenue Streams, One Trusted Advisor

BCS organizes its nine business lines into three streams that balance immediate capital needs with long-term banking relationships.

Stream A — Transactional
🏦

Placement & Origination

Your primary capital engine. We match your deal to the right lender — not just the first approval — across a network of 50+ sources.

  • Commercial real estate loans
  • SBA 7(a) and 504 programs
  • Franchise & multi-unit financing
  • Asset-based lending (ABL)
  • Hard money & bridge loans
  • HELOC for business use
Stream B — Retainer
🤝

Fractional Treasury & Banking Stewardship

Turn a one-time transaction into a long-term relationship. We stay with you post-close to monitor covenants, flag renewal risks, and manage your banking relationship proactively.

  • Post-close banking relationship stewardship
  • Covenant monitoring & annual banking review
  • Early warning on renewal or refi triggers
  • Fractional treasury officer services
Stream C — Specialty
⚖️

Workouts, Triage & Expert Witness

Counter-cyclical and high-margin. We handle the situations most brokers won't touch — and our bank-workout background means we understand both sides of the table.

  • Loan workouts & bank exits
  • Complex-scenario triage & team assembly
  • Expert witness engagements
  • Paid deal feasibility reports
  • Bank-level pre-underwriting analysis

About Your Advisor
Robert Hernandez

Robert "Bob" Hernandez

Managing Member, Business Capitalization Specialists

Bob brings a perspective that very few commercial finance advisors can offer: he's been on both sides of the credit desk. As former VP of Finance for a $450MM NASDAQ-listed fast-casual operator, he understands what it takes to build a financial narrative that banks actually fund — because he built them for public-company board presentations.

His credit background is equally rare. Trained at Chemical Bank and Texas Commerce Bank, Bob is an RMA-certified underwriter who spent years as a bank workout officer. He knows what happens when deals go sideways — and exactly what lenders are thinking before they ever pick up the phone.

Today, Bob applies that institutional knowledge on behalf of business owners: structuring clean commercial loan packages, navigating SBA programs, quarterbacking loan workouts, and serving as an expert witness in complex lending disputes.

Why BCS

We're Not a Loan Broker. We're Your Advocate.

The difference is in how we work — and what we know before the lender ever sees your file.

🏛️

Bank-Level Underwriting, On Your Side

We apply the same DSCR, collateral coverage, and global cash flow analysis your lender will use — so there are no surprises in underwriting.

🔍

50+ Lenders, One Advocate

We shop your deal across our full lender network — not just the handful who pay the most referral fees — to find the terms that actually fit your business.

📋

Six Pillars Discovery Process

Before we ever touch your financials, we run a structured diagnostic that surfaces what's strong, what needs work, and what the lender's first objection will be.

🔄

Counter-Cyclical Capabilities

When credit tightens, most brokers disappear. BCS's workout and complex-scenario expertise means we can help when the situation is hardest — and most urgent.

💬

Honest, Fast Answers

No runaround. We tell you where you stand from day one. If a deal isn't fundable, we'll tell you that too — along with what it would take to get there.

🤝

No Fee Until We Deliver

Our consultation is free. The Feasibility Report fee is credited back at engagement. We only earn a placement fee when you close — our success is tied to yours.

Our Process

From First Call to Funded

A repeatable four-step process that gets deals done faster — and with fewer surprises.

1

Bankability Call

30-minute structured discovery. We assess your deal using the Six Pillars framework and tell you exactly where you stand.

2

Bank-level pre-underwrite: DSCR, collateral, lender matches, gaps to close. You know the outcome before submitting anywhere.

3

We Shop Your Deal

We structure your narrative and submit to the right lenders — not all of them, the right ones — then present you with real offers.

4

Funded & Supported

Capital in your account. And with our Banking Stewardship Retainer, the relationship doesn't end at closing.

Client Results

Real Deals. Real Outcomes.

What clients say about working with Business Capitalization Specialists.

★★★★★
"Bob knew exactly what the SBA underwriter would ask for before we ever submitted. We closed in 47 days — faster than any deal I've done in 15 years of franchising."
Multi-Unit Franchise Operator
Texas Fast-Casual Group
★★★★★
"Our bank called the note with 90 days' notice. BCS quarterbacked the entire exit — new lender, clean narrative, and a bridge structure that bought us the time we needed. I don't know what we would have done otherwise."
Owner, Middle-Market Manufacturing
Central Texas
★★★★★
"The Deal Feasibility Report alone was worth it. Bob showed us the two things that would kill the deal before we wasted three months in underwriting. We fixed them. We closed."
CFO, Regional Restaurant Group
Greater Austin Area
★★★★★
"Bob provided timely, accurate and thoughtful guidance, connecting me to very professional lenders, while guiding me through the process. With so many unknowns it was reassuring to have an expert in the field on my side. In 2024, Bob went above and beyond — he saved my business. I don't say that lightly. Bob is a professional. Bob is knowledgeable. Bob is a stand-up businessman. Bob is an honorable man."
