SBA Franchise Loan

So you're thinking of buying a franchise. As an intelligent and driven entrepreneur you realize that although the risk of starting a business is much greater than buying into a franchise you know you may need additional funding, whether it be from personal funding from the franchisor, or perhaps a Franchise loan from a commercial lending company, or financing from of the franchisor's businesses.

Another route, if the franchisor offers to help, is to get a loan from a bank. If you do this you should see if you are eligible for a SBA guaranteed loan. The first thing that you need to do is check with the bank and the SBA concerning your eligibility. Once you confirmed your eligibility do what you can to get this particular franchise registered with the SBA registry of franchises, assuming it wasn't already on it.  Once it is, your application for a franchise loan guaranty you should be able to get your money in no time.

Well why should you consider an SBA loan: well the SBA doesn't actually loan directly instead guaranteeing 75% the loan for the bank or lender allowing less risk on their part which means you can ask for more money up to 2,000,000 dollars! All you have to do is in your application is show the SBA your integrity, responsibility, character, and financial record, and plan to repay the money. Even good collateral isn't always needed!

The SBA loans will help you move past obstacles that were in the way of your success getting into the franchise.

I like that alot. I have considered opening a franchise in the past, I am glad
to have come across this blog also.
Thought it had to be out of my own pocket

I never realized that a small business loan could cover expenses for owning a
franchise. I thought they only covered self-made businesses and that I'd have
to come up with my own money to buy into a franchise. Thanks for the heads up!

My daughter is looking to buy a franchise. She realizes that it is so much
easier to work with an established business than to start up one on her own.
I'll be sure to pass this information on to her.
Found out I was eligible

After reading your blog, I decided to see if I would be eligible for a small
business loan for my franchise. Turns out I was! Thanks for the information -
you saved me from having to put my life's savings into this venture.
75% of the loan? Wow!

I'd heard about small business loans before, but didn't think that they would
meet the larger financial needs that I have. I was so surprised to read that
the SBA will guarantee 75% of the loan up to $2 million! That will definitely
help my business out.
