Franchise lending combines brand approval, real estate variables, and SBA guidelines into one underwriting package. In Syracuse, site selection matters: a coffee franchise thrives near Syracuse University's campus, while a home-services brand performs better along the Camillus and Minoa residential corridors. Myrtlefield Funding knows which sba franchise lenders work with specific concepts and how to present your lease terms, tenant-improvement budgets, and projected cash flow in ways that satisfy both franchisor and SBA requirements.
The SBA Franchise Registry lists approved brands eligible for streamlined review. If your concept isn't listed, we help prepare the documentation and work with lenders experienced in non-listed franchise underwriting. Flexibility of terms becomes critical when your franchisor mandates specific equipment vendors or build-out standards that affect your total project cost.
Loan programs
Answer: SBA 7(a) loans cover franchise fees, working capital, equipment, and tenant improvements up to $5 million with repayment terms extending 10 to 25 years depending on asset type. This program accommodates the upfront costs and royalty structures inherent in franchise operations, offering the payment flexibility owner-operators need during ramp-up periods.
We also broker franchise financing through equipment financing when your concept is asset-heavy, and working capital lines that cover inventory cycles for retail franchises in Clay or Liverpool shopping centers.
Answer: Myrtlefield Funding pre-qualifies your franchise concept against SBA and lender criteria before you sign agreements, preventing costly surprises. We compare sba franchise financing options across multiple lenders, negotiate term flexibility around your royalty schedule, and coordinate timing so funds arrive when your Salina or North Syracuse lease commences.

A client planned a fast-casual franchise near Onondaga Lake Parkway. The franchisor required $150,000 in liquid capital and a $400,000 total investment. We structured an SBA 7(a) covering the franchise fee, kitchen equipment, and six months of working capital, with a 10-year term on equipment and 25 years on leasehold improvements. Flexibility of terms allowed the owner to manage seasonal traffic swings around Destiny USA events without cash-flow strain.
