How have SBA loans to D-Bat franchisees turned out?

Of 42 loans approved in fiscal 2018 to 2021 (at least five years old), 2 (4.8%) were charged off by the lender, against 5.9% across all 7(a) loans approved in those same years. D-Bat appears on 114 SBA-guaranteed 7(a) loans approved from fiscal 2018 to 2026, $95.3 million in gross approvals. These are loans, not a rating.
Not financial, legal or franchise advice. This page reports what the SBA's loan file records for SBA-guaranteed loans. A charge-off rate is not a rating of a brand or an industry, it does not predict a new loan, and a franchisee's loan is not a measure of the franchisor. Read the franchise's disclosure document and talk to a lender or an adviser before you borrow.
