The retail industry is a tough one for many SBA lenders. The lenders that do provide loans to retailers focus on retailers with substantial hard assets and/or retailers with recurring customers (e.g., gas stations, supermarkets, pharmacies). What was already a tough environment has been made even tough with the coronavirus pandemic, as banks are wanting to see retailers open, operational, and generating revenues and profits at close to pre-covid levels in order to lend.
