Example prompt: I want to buy a Chick-fil-A franchise — can you check if it's on the SBA franchise registry, what SBA loan structures I could use, and whether a ROBS 401k rollover would work to fund the initial investment?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent or user needs to determine whether a specific franchise qualifies for SBA-backed financing, explore structured loan options, or evaluate ROBS 401k rollovers as a funding strategy. Prefer this over generic business loan lookup tools when the context is specifically franchise acquisition financing, as it integrates SBA franchise registry data with loan structure and retirement fund rollover guidance in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Franchise brand not found in SBA registry — returns ineligible status or no match
- Insufficient input data to determine eligibility — returns validation error
- External SBA registry data unavailable — returns service timeout or data unavailability notice
- Ambiguous franchise name with multiple matches — may return multiple candidates or require clarification
