What a lender sees

Motel 6 is an established brand in the SBA loan file: 90 acquisitions cleared underwriting in the last five years. At the $2,680,000 median loan, a standard 7(a) structure puts roughly $268,000 of buyer equity into the deal at the 10 percent minimum injection, with the rest financed over ten years. The 8.50 percent median rate is the number to model your payment against.

SBA conditions on this brand

From the SBA Franchise Directory

If Applicant also operates under a management agreement with a third party, Lender/CDC must review the management agreement in accordance with SOP 50 10 to determine if there is affiliation between the Applicant and the management company. The Applicant is not eligible if the management company is, or is affiliated with, the franchisor.

Every franchise the SBA will finance carries an entry in its directory, and some carry conditions like this one about how the real estate and the lease may be held. A lender has to clear these before funding, so they are worth reading before you make an offer.
