The SBA Franchise Registry continued its robust activity with the additional approval of 15 new franchise systems. A record breaking forty-two (42) franchise systems renewed their listing by asking the SBA to review their most current franchise agreement.
The Franchise Registry is the online listing of franchise systems whose franchisees receive expedited loan processing when applying for financial assistance from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
"With another record year of loans being reported by the SBA, franchise systems realize the importance of helping their franchisees with financing by being listed and keeping their listing up-to-date on the Franchise Registry," said Darrell Johnson, President, FRANdata.
