FRANdata: The Trusted Partner in Franchise Lending Underwriting

Franchise businesses offer a wealth of performance data that can help lenders accurately assess risk—data that independent businesses simply don’t have. With this advantage, banks financing franchise loans need reliable, data-driven insights to make informed underwriting decisions. That’s where FRANdata comes in.

    • More than 60% of all SBA franchise loans are financed by banks that rely on FRANdata’s FUND (Franchise Credit Scoring) Report for underwriting.
    • Banks with over $5 trillion in assets use FRANdata’s expertise to assess and manage their franchise loan portfolios.

Why Franchise Lending is Different—and How FRANdata Helps

Franchise systems provide unique benefits to lenders:

✔ Predictability & Scalability – Each franchise location follows a proven model, making underwriting more consistent.

✔ Network Advantage – Lenders can gain preferred status with franchisors, opening access to a portfolio of borrowers rather than just one.

With decades of experience in both lending and franchising, FRANdata continuously innovates to support franchise lenders. Our tools, including the FUND Report and Brand Credit Report (BCR), set the industry standard for franchise loan underwriting.

Additionally, for over 25 years, we have operated the Franchise Registry (www.franchiseregistry.com), the go-to resource for franchise financing, used by over 9,000 small business lenders nationwide.

If you’re a small business lender and don’t yet have access, email franchiseregistry@frandata.com to get started with a complimentary login today.
