Frequently Asked Questions
Is British Swim School growing or shrinking?
British Swim School's SBA loan count fell 24% year-over-year. A decline in SBA financing doesn't necessarily mean the brand is shrinking -- franchisees may be using other financing, or SBA lending patterns may have shifted broadly.
How much does it cost to open a British Swim School franchise?
We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $216K (38% below the typical Fitness & Recreation brand's $350K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for British Swim School?
0 of 58 SBA loans to British Swim School franchisees (0.0%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 2.0% across all Fitness & Recreation brands.
