Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Rubber Ducky franchise?
The total investment to open a Rubber Ducky franchise ranges from $76K – $524K, with an initial franchise fee of $45K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Rubber Ducky franchise owners earn?
Rubber Ducky does not disclose average franchise owner earnings in their FDD Item 19. Not all franchisors are required to make financial performance representations. We recommend asking existing franchisees directly about their financial experience.
What is Item 19 in the Rubber Ducky FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets. Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the Rubber Ducky FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Rubber Ducky's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Rubber Ducky (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.
Is Rubber Ducky a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Rubber Ducky as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 41 out of 100 (higher is better), based on our analysis of investment costs, revenue data, SBA loan performance, and growth trends. Our rating is based solely on publicly available FDD and government data; we recommend speaking with current franchisees before making any investment decision. This is not investment advice.
