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.
