Government-backed loans with favorable rates and terms, designed specifically for small business and franchise ownership.
SBA loans are not issued by the Small Business Administration directly. Instead, the SBA guarantees a portion of the loan made by an approved bank or lender, which reduces the lender's risk and allows you to get better terms than a conventional business loan. For franchise buyers, the SBA 7(a) loan is the most commonly used program.
Because many franchises are on the SBA Franchise Registry, approved lenders can process your application faster. This means less paperwork and faster access to capital compared to starting an independent business.
