4 SBA loans have financed Cross Petroleum Product Sales Agreement locations since 2018, written by 3 different lenders across 1 states. Half were approved for $720K or less, the mix is a mix of 7(a) and 504, and 0% 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.
