Failures usually cluster once the opening cash is spent and the first rent increase lands. Plan working capital for that window, not for month one.

Who still lends on it

last two fiscal years

No lender funded a unit of this brand in the last two fiscal years on record. That is itself worth knowing — it usually means banks have stepped back, which makes financing harder and pricier.

Fewer active lenders means less competition on your rate, and a harder time if the first bank declines.
