Note: While some SBA Lenders will not process a loan for a system not on the Registry, participation
IS NOT MANDATORY. If a franchisor chooses not to participate in this streamlined review process,
loan applications by its franchisees will still be reviewed individually by the SBA.
FRANCHISORS: The financing process is one of the largest hurdles for prospective franchisees to
cross. Franchisees look for systems who make this step as easy as possible. The Franchise Registry
is a simple way to expedite their loans.
