1,266 SBA loans have financed Mail Boxes Etc locations since 1990, written by 230 different lenders across 52 states. Half were approved for $110K or less, the mix is almost entirely 7(a), and 57% 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.
