22 SBA loans have financed Home2 Suites locations since 2013, written by 18 different lenders across 9 states. Half were approved for $3.6M or less, the mix is 504-heavy, and 27% 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.
