Special Strong Secures Game-Changing Partnership with First Financial to Offer SBA Express Loans for New Franchisees
McKinney, Texas – November 11, 2024– Special Strong, the industry leader in adaptive fitness training and franchising for individuals with special needs, debuts a groundbreaking partnership with First Financial, enabling new franchisees to access Small Business Administration (SBA) Express loans of up to $150,000. This is a significant milestone for Special Strong, making it easier than ever for aspiring entrepreneurs to join the rapidly growing brand.
Securing financing for new franchisees has historically been one of the biggest challenges in the franchise industry, even for reasonably priced opportunities like Special Strong. Through First Financial’s expertise and the partnership with a trusted bank, Special Strong’s franchisees can now receive express SBA loan approvals with competitive rates and favorable repayment terms.
“This is a really big deal for us,” said Daniel Stein, Founder and CEO of Special Strong. “Getting funding for a franchise can be tricky and we’ve been working for a long time to secure SBA loan options for our franchisees. This partnership with First Financial changes everything—it gives access to a low-risk financing solution that supports franchisees in building their business without the need for massive upfront capital.”
Stein notes that Special Strong has been working toward this partnership for several years and is excited that franchisees are already taking advantage of the opportunity to jumpstart their dreams. Unlike traditional fitness franchises that require costly brick-and-mortar locations, Special Strong’s model offers low overhead and healthy margins, making it easier for franchisees to get started.
“This program provides franchisees with a sustainable way to leverage debt and pursue their entrepreneurial goals,” added Stein. “With the lower interest rates and longer payment terms of SBA loans, they can build their business without the financial strain of high-interest personal loans.”
