Why SBA Lenders Reject Franchise Loans And How to Get Approved

from The Business Ownership Show · host Beau Eckstein

Most franchise buyers don't get declined because they're unqualified, they get declined because they're working with the wrong SBA lender. Just because a bank does SBA loans for the U.S. Small Business Administration doesn't mean they understand franchise startup risk. In this episode, Beau breaks down why most SBA lenders avoid franchise startups, the three layers of risk banks actually underwrite, and how bad projections, false leverage promises, and non-specialized lenders kill deals late. If you want approval on purpose not by accident. This is required viewing.
