SOS Franchising does not offer any financing arrangements to you. We are currently listed on the SBA Franchise Directory and are able to refer you to lenders that have served past franchisees. Generally, an SBA Loan requires 20% down and a credit score of over 700. After you sign the FDD, we may review and comment on any business plan that you create for the purposes of obtaining a start-up loan.
