Frequently Asked Questions
Is Budget Blinds growing or shrinking?
Budget Blinds's SBA loan count fell 15% 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 Budget Blinds 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 $456K (10% above the typical Retail brand's $415K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for Budget Blinds?
2 of 210 SBA loans to Budget Blinds franchisees (1.0%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 1.1% across all Retail brands.
