10 SBA loans have financed Rebath Of Nh locations since 2006, written by 7 different lenders across 5 states. Half were approved for $130K or less, the mix is almost entirely 7(a), and 80% 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.
