FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers to what Reno owners ask most, from a local broker.

To get an SBA Loan for Franchise in Reno, confirm your franchisor is listed in the SBA Franchise Directory, then contact IronWood Advances with your franchise agreement and preliminary budget. We match you with SBA lenders experienced in franchise financing and guide you through the application and approval process.

Typical amounts range from one hundred fifty thousand dollars for smaller service franchises to over a million dollars for full-service restaurant or multi-unit builds. Loan size depends on total project costs, franchisor requirements, and how much equity you're contributing.

Funding speed generally runs sixty to ninety days from application to closing, assuming the franchise is pre-approved in the SBA system and your documentation is complete. New construction or complex site work can extend timelines, while existing location acquisitions often move faster.

Credit needed is usually in the mid-600s or better, with lenders reviewing personal and business credit if you're already operating. Strong liquid assets, franchise brand performance, and relevant experience can help offset borderline credit scores in the underwriting process.

Collateral includes the franchise assets being financed such as equipment, inventory, and leasehold improvements, and lenders typically require a personal guarantee and may place liens on other business or personal assets. Real estate purchases add property collateral and often improve loan terms.

Documents include the Franchise Disclosure Document, franchise agreement, itemized use of funds, personal financial statement, resume, and business tax returns if you own other businesses. Lenders also request a business plan, site lease, and sometimes market studies depending on the franchise concept.
