SBA record
5 of the 7 brands have an SBA 7(a) charge-off rate on enough resolved loans to print, from 5.9% to 18.2%. The rest have too few resolved loans, or none matched. Each rate is charge-offs over resolved loans (paid in full or charged off), from SBA FOIA loan records.
Method
- Ownership is what each brand's own FDD states in Item 1 on its issue date (2025, 2026 filings); a later sale is not reflected until a newer filing says so.
- Grades are an editorial assessment of each brand, not of the owner, and not investment advice. Gross sales are revenue, not profit.
- A charge-off rate shows only where at least 10 SBA 7(a) loans have resolved and loans reach 2% of franchised units.
