134 SBA loans have financed Comfort Suites by Choice Hotels locations since 2009, written by 68 different lenders across 28 states. Half were approved for $3.3M or less, the mix is a mix of 7(a) and 504, and 34% 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.
