7 SBA loans have financed Stork Vision locations since 2008, written by 7 different lenders across 4 states. Half were approved for $60K or less, the mix is almost entirely 7(a), and 57% 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.
