20 SBA loans have financed Kawasaki locations since 1996, written by 20 different lenders across 14 states. Half were approved for $405K or less, the mix is 504-heavy, and 5% 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.
