3 SBA loans have financed Bojangles, Bojangles’ Famous Chicken ‘n Biscuits®”, and “Bojangles’ Express locations since 2022, written by 1 different lenders across 3 states. Half were approved for $2.5M or less, the mix is almost entirely 7(a), and 67% 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.
