Funding multiple franchise units under one loan

I am working on a multi-unit franchise deal. They all belong to the same franchise and within nearby geographic locations.

Does SBA or other vehicles allow to combine multiple units under one loan or is it mandatory to have a separate loan for each unit?

Hello Sathya,

I specialize in SBA franchise lending, both start-up and acquisition, at First Bank of the Lake. Can definitely discuss some potential scenarios to get multi-unit agreements funded under the same umbrella - it is possible, but pends on industry.

It would be great to touch base and discuss, as I have some creative solutions on paths forward. Feel free to reach out via call or text toredactedor redacted

Would be happy to throw my hat in the ring and discuss this opportunity with you. It would likely depend on the franchise & deal structure if we could fund multiple units at the same time, but you should be able to combine them in one note.

Happy to talk if you'd like, you can reach me here or at redacted
