18 SBA loans have financed Straight Shot Express locations since 1999, written by 8 different lenders across 3 states. Half were approved for $80K or less, the mix is almost entirely 7(a), and 39% 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.
