The SBA size standard for 459991 is $12M in average annual receipts. SBA averages total gross receipts over the last five completed fiscal years and adds in any affiliates under common control. A smoke and vape shop at or below that figure counts as small for SBA 7(a) and 504 loans and for federal small business contracts.
What financing do smoke and vape shops use?
Many banks restrict vape lending, so owners often use SBA 7(a) loans where eligible, revenue based financing and merchant cash advances. Lenders look at licensing, compliance with flavor and age rules and steady card sales. A broker who works with many lenders can line up bank, SBA and alternative offers side by side, which often matters more than chasing the lowest headline price.
