Frequently Asked Questions

Is Made In the Shade Blinds and More growing or shrinking?

Made In the Shade Blinds and More doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2025 and FY2026 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #53 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 Made In the Shade Blinds and More 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 $230K (45% below 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 Made In the Shade Blinds and More?

Made In the Shade Blinds and More only has 16 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.
