Frequently Asked Questions

Is Merlin 200,000 Miles Shops growing or shrinking?

Merlin 200,000 Miles Shops doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2024 and FY2025 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #90 of 125 Automotive Services brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.

How much does it cost to open a Merlin 200,000 Miles Shops 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 $123K (73% below the typical Automotive Services brand's $453K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.

What's the SBA loan default rate for Merlin 200,000 Miles Shops?

Merlin 200,000 Miles Shops only has 2 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Automotive Services brands overall see a 1.5% charge-off rate across 1,424 loans.
