35 SBA loans have financed Rally's Hamburgers locations since 1991, written by 19 different lenders across 11 states. Half were approved for $269K or less, the mix is a mix of 7(a) and 504, and 43% 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.
