Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hardware Hank growing or shrinking?

Hardware Hank doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2023 and FY2024 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #86 of 413 Retail brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.

How much does it cost to open a Hardware Hank 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 $871K (110% 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 Hardware Hank?

Hardware Hank only has 9 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Retail brands overall see a 1.1% charge-off rate across 4,387 loans.
