708 SBA loans have financed Matco Tools locations since 1992, written by 98 different lenders across 47 states. Half were approved for $58K or less, the mix is almost entirely 7(a), and 84% 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.
