How have SBA loans to Re/Max franchisees turned out?

Of 43 loans approved in fiscal 2005 to 2018 (at least five years old), 2 (4.7%) were charged off by the lender, against 17.2% across all 7(a) loans approved in those same years. Re/Max appears on 43 SBA-guaranteed 7(a) loans approved from fiscal 2005 to 2018, $19.9 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.
