Texas Capital Bank hired Brian Frank to expand its Franchise Finance platform on a national scale. The bank is already active in the space, primarily in Texas, and Frank will lead a new initiative to develop relationships with both corporate-level franchisors and multi-unit franchise operators throughout the U.S.

Frank was previously senior vice president and head of Restaurant and Franchise Finance for TD Bank.

The practice will cater to restaurants, convenience stores, retail petroleum and limited service hospitality. It also will provide comprehensive banking services that will help entrepreneurial franchisee and franchisor operators grow their businesses.

“We believe that franchise operators embody the entrepreneurial spirit that is typical of a Texas Capital Bank client and we are thrilled to be able to serve clients coast-to-coast,” said John Sarvadi, Houston regional president and long-time franchise banker.

“We are pleased to have Brian lead our national efforts in Franchise Finance. He exemplifies the Texas Capital Bank approach by delivering industry expertise and a consultative approach tailored to each client,” said CEO Keith Cargill.
