How Waffle Love SBA loans have performed
Outcomes for every funded Waffle Love 7(a) loan approved since FY2010. Each SBA loan usually finances one location, so read these as an estimate of units.

How to use this
The lenders above have actually closed SBA 7(a) loans for Waffle Love 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, and we match your Waffle Love deal to a lender currently funding this brand.
