3 SBA loans have financed Irving Oil Marketing, Inc - Dealer Supply Agreement locations since 2021, written by 2 different lenders across 3 states. Half were approved for $522K or less, the mix is 504-heavy, and 33% 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.
