Q: Dear Beau,

I'm in the process of purchasing a startup franchise and have saved around $30,000, but I don't have any additional reserves. The total project cost for the franchise is approximately $130,000. Could you please guide me on what factors underwriters consider when making a lending decision? Specifically, do they evaluate reserves and cash flow requirements? Thank you.

Amanda
