How SBA Loan Affordability Works
SBA loans are among the most popular financing options for car wash acquisitions. The SBA 7(a) program offers loans up to $5 million with competitive terms. The key metric lenders use is the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), which measures your ability to cover loan payments.
A DSCR of 1.25x means your net operating income is 1.25 times your total debt service. Most SBA lenders require a minimum DSCR of 1.25x for approval.
