39 SBA loans have financed Amerihost Inn locations since 2001, written by 31 different lenders across 21 states. Half were approved for $1.1M or less, the mix is 504-heavy, and 28% 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.
