Typical loan size: Most vape shop loans fall between $15K and $150K, with multi-location expansions running $200K to $400K.
Seasonality: Vape shops see fairly steady year-round demand with modest bumps around New Year resolutions and tax-refund season, but face ongoing regulatory and inventory risk.
Most common reason for decline: Lenders most often decline vape shops due to high-risk industry classification, shifting FDA and state regulations, or limited access to traditional bank financing.
