An SBA loan is a government backed financing program in which the United States Small Business Administration guarantees a portion of a loan issued by an approved lender. For franchise owners, this structure provides access to longer repayment terms, lower down payments, and financing designed to align with franchise brand requirements.

SBA loans are widely used across franchise systems to support both initial entry and ongoing expansion. IRH Capital works exclusively with franchise systems and understands the approval processes, timelines, and financial structures required by franchisors, allowing financing to be structured with clarity and confidence.
