Build the decision in four steps
Define the project, reconcile the file, compare written terms, and stress-test unit cash.
Primary sources
- Current SBA, FTC, IRS, and Federal Reserve sources ground public facts.
- Provider documents control actual eligibility and terms.
No outcome promises
- No universal score, APR, approval, or timing claims.
- A referral, match, or prequalification is not approval.
Franchise-aware file
- Track royalties, advertising fees, transfer and remodel conditions.
- Keep the franchisor review separate from credit review.
Resolve evidence gaps before applying
Unsupported costs, inconsistent records, missing franchise conditions, and optimistic unit cash weaken the file.
Program facts from official sources
