What is franchise financing?
Franchise financing is a specialty within SBA 7(a) and conventional lending. Approved concepts on the SBA Franchise Directory get a streamlined path; unlisted concepts need extra diligence on the franchise agreement.
Multi-unit operators are the most valuable segment, they add units on a predictable cadence and stay with the lender who funded the first deal.
