Buying a franchise with a 7(a)? The brand must be listed in the SBA Franchise Directory — check before the LOI. Every brand on this page clears that bar regularly; the loan counts prove it.

The failure badge is the number franchisors never show you: the share of each brand's FY2020–23 deals that failed and got written off. Under 1% means buyers of that brand almost always make it. Over 3% deserves a hard conversation before you sign anything. Typical loan size tracks what a location really costs to buy or build — plan on 10% down.
