What is Tijon Fragrance Lab's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Tijon Fragrance Lab (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.
