Loan programs
Franchise lending works differently because the SBA must confirm your brand qualifies under its franchise directory before any lender underwrites the deal. In Daly City, where retail corridors along Mission Street and the Serramonte Center draw national chains, franchisees face two hurdles: proving the brand is registry-approved and assembling the franchisor addendum, franchise agreement, and financial disclosure documents lenders require. We verify registry status in minutes, compile the addendum package, and connect you to SBA franchise lenders who close deals in San Mateo County every month.
Loan programs
SBA 7(a) franchise financing covers up to $5 million for acquisition, build-out, working capital, and equipment when your brand holds current registry approval. Multi-unit operators expanding into Brisbane or Colma use 7(a) funds to cover real estate deposits, signage, and initial inventory. Franchise loans through the 7(a) program offer longer amortizations than conventional bank credit, so your monthly payment leaves room for royalty fees and local marketing spend. We also arrange equipment financing for kitchen suites, point-of-sale systems, and vehicle wraps when the franchise disclosure lists specific vendors.
SBA loans
We start every franchise loan engagement with a registry lookup and a franchisor contact to request the SBA addendum. Because Daly City sits ten minutes south of San Francisco International Airport, we work with franchisees who need fast closings before lease commencement dates. Our documentation checklist includes the Franchise Disclosure Document, three years of tax returns, a business plan that incorporates the franchisor's pro forma, and personal financial statements. When a lender requests clarification on Item 19 earnings claims or territory exclusivity, we translate the request into plain language and help you respond same-day.

A couple buying a quick-service franchise near the Daly City BART station needed $450,000 for the franchise fee, tenant improvements, and six months of working capital. The franchisor was registry-approved, but the lender required a revised addendum reflecting a recent royalty-rate change. We coordinated with the franchisor's legal team, updated the addendum, and delivered the full package within four business days. The SBA franchise financing closed three weeks later, and the restaurant opened on schedule.
