4 SBA loans have financed Easy Video locations since 1992, written by 4 different lenders across 1 states. Half were approved for $98K or less, the mix is almost entirely 7(a), and 75% 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.
