5 SBA loans have financed Sky High Sports locations since 2014, written by 5 different lenders across 4 states. Half were approved for $1.8M or less, the mix is a mix of 7(a) and 504, and 40% 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.
