Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a MACH ONE franchise?

What is MACH ONE's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for MACH ONE (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.

FranchiseVerdict rates MACH ONE as a A-grade franchise with a verdict score of 59 out of 100 (higher is better), based on our analysis of investment costs, revenue data, SBA loan performance, and growth trends.
