If a prospective franchisee seeks financing through the SBA, they must sign the SBA Addendum to the Franchise Agreement, which is included as Exhibit H-1 in the FDD. This addendum likely contains additional terms and conditions required by the SBA as part of the loan approval process. Franchisees should carefully review this addendum to understand their obligations when using SBA financing.
