66 SBA loans have financed Honest-1 Auto Care locations since 2004, written by 32 different lenders across 21 states. Half were approved for $322K or less, the mix is almost entirely 7(a), and 62% 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.
