Financial Profile

What a Typical BreadHaus Candidate Looks Like

These are not requirements. They describe the profile most lenders look for when financing a bakery at this investment level, and they are a useful gut check. If you are close on some and short on others, we still want to talk.

💰

Net Worth

Around $500K

Typical net worth for candidates who finance the investment through an SBA lender

💵

Liquid Capital

Around $150K

Liquid funds most owners bring as the down payment on the rest

📈

Credit Score

680 or better

What SBA lenders generally want to see; not a BreadHaus rule

Not a checklist. BreadHaus does not set a minimum net worth, liquid capital or credit score. We look at the whole picture, including partners, retirement funds and home equity. If you are unsure whether you can afford it, that is a good reason to book a call, not a reason to skip it. Read our full bakery franchise cost guide for every line item.
