9 SBA loans have financed KLA Schools locations since 2016, written by 4 different lenders across 4 states. Half were approved for $1.6M or less, the mix is a mix of 7(a) and 504, and 56% 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.
