106 SBA loans have financed Smash My Trash locations since 2019, written by 42 different lenders across 26 states. Half were approved for $324K or less, the mix is almost entirely 7(a), and 92% 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.
