5 SBA loans have financed Dodge - Sales and Service Agreement locations since 2019, written by 5 different lenders across 5 states. Half were approved for $2.2M or less, the mix is 504-heavy, and 20% 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.
