Frequently Asked Questions
Is Contender eSports growing or shrinking?
Contender eSports doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2024 and FY2025 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #88 of 302 Fitness & Recreation brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.
How much does it cost to open a Contender eSports 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 $257K (27% 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 Contender eSports?
Contender eSports only has 12 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Fitness & Recreation brands overall see a 2.0% charge-off rate across 5,280 loans.
