SBA Franchise Registry
The SBA Franchise Registry is comprised of franchisors who voluntarily work with the SBA and lenders to make the loan process more streamlined for franchisees. It is a national online listing of franchisors whose cooperation with the SBA and lenders increases the overall efficiency of the loan process, while also lowering costs.
The SBA Franchise Registry enhances the speed and consistency of the lending process through centralization. Franchisees whose franchisors are participants receive expedited loan processing.
While membership in the SBA Franchise Registry is not an endorsement from the SBA, and not participating does not mean that a franchisor is not successful, those who choose to participate in the SBA Franchise Registry simplify the lending process for consumers.
