Question: Hello Beau,

I hope this message finds you well. I've recently been in discussions with a particular franchise and have obtained their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). As I look into the process of franchise financing, I want to ensure I'm well-prepared, especially from an SBA (Small Business Administration) standpoint.

Could you kindly share some valuable insights and recommendations regarding financing a franchise, particularly with a focus on SBA-related considerations? Your expertise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards, Olivia
