65 SBA loans have financed Godfather's Pizza locations since 1990, written by 52 different lenders across 19 states. Half were approved for $180K or less, the mix is almost entirely 7(a), and 38% 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.
