How Texas sandwich shop businesses use this financing

Common uses of funds:

  • Refrigerated prep tables, meat slicers, and panini presses
  • Counter-service build-out and drive-thru lane
  • Catering vans and box-lunch delivery setup
  • Working capital for deli meat and bread supply

Typical loan size: Most sandwich shop loans fall between $20K and $200K, with franchise build-outs and multi-unit deals running $300K to $700K.

Seasonality: Sandwich shops rely on steady weekday lunch traffic with catering peaks in spring and fall and slower demand during summer office vacations and holiday weeks.

Most common reason for decline: Lenders most often decline sandwich shops with high lunch-only revenue concentration, fewer than 12 months in business, or low average ticket sizes.

Manu's network includes SBA-preferred lenders that fund in Texas.

What credit score does a Texas sandwich shop business need?
