238 SBA loans have financed Little Caesar Pizza locations since 2008, written by 82 different lenders across 39 states. Half were approved for $275K or less, the mix is almost entirely 7(a), and 43% 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.
