Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ferncrest growing or shrinking?

Ferncrest doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2025 and FY2026 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #79 of 115 Hotels & Lodging brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.

How much does it cost to open a Ferncrest 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 $949K (66% below the typical Hotels & Lodging brand's $2.8M) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.

What's the SBA loan default rate for Ferncrest?

Ferncrest only has 3 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Hotels & Lodging brands overall see a 0.1% charge-off rate across 3,663 loans.
