Frequently Asked Questions
Is FirstLight HomeCare growing or shrinking?
FirstLight HomeCare's SBA loan count fell 9% 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 FirstLight HomeCare 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 $246K (26% below the typical Health, Senior & Child Care brand's $333K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for FirstLight HomeCare?
1 of 44 SBA loans to FirstLight HomeCare franchisees (2.3%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 1.1% across all Health, Senior & Child Care brands.
