28 SBA loans have financed 1-800-Plumber locations since 2009, written by 4 different lenders across 14 states. Half were approved for $150K or less, the mix is almost entirely 7(a), and 93% went to owners whose business was under two years old.
A lender that has already underwritten this brand knows the unit economics, the build-out costs, and the franchisor. That is worth more to you than a bigger bank starting from scratch.
