30 SBA loans have financed Premier Petroleum, Inc - Petroleum Supply Agreement locations since 2018, written by 15 different lenders across 2 states. Half were approved for $1.4M or less, the mix is almost entirely 7(a), and 50% 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.
