70 SBA loans have financed Marriott Hotel locations since 1992, written by 47 different lenders across 29 states. Half were approved for $2.5M or less, the mix is 504-heavy, and 13% 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.
