Of 59 loans approved in fiscal 2001 to 2012 (at least five years old), 16 (27.1%) were charged off by the lender, against 21.3% across all 7(a) loans approved in those same years. Prerecorded Compact Disc (except Software), Tape, and Record Reproducing appears on 59 SBA-guaranteed 7(a) loans approved from fiscal 2001 to 2012, $15.6 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.
