47 SBA loans have financed Maui Wowi locations since 2002, written by 28 different lenders across 21 states. Half were approved for $135K or less, the mix is almost entirely 7(a), and 74% 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.
