How to use this

The lenders above have actually closed SBA 7(a) loans for The Learning Experience franchisees, so they already understand the brand's model, unit economics, and franchise agreement. That familiarity usually means a faster, cleaner underwrite than a lender seeing the concept for the first time.

A lender being active historically doesn't mean they're the right fit for your deal size, location, or timing right now. That's where we come in — we match your The Learning Experience deal to a lender currently funding this brand.
