72 SBA loans have financed Buffalo Wings & Rings locations since 1996, written by 38 different lenders across 15 states. Half were approved for $461K or less, the mix is almost entirely 7(a), and 57% 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.
