How much does it cost to open a Buff City Soap 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 $388K (27% above the typical Other brand's $306K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for Buff City Soap?
Buff City Soap only has 19 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Other brands overall see a 2.1% charge-off rate across 1,541 loans.
