Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pause Studio growing or shrinking?
Pause Studio doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2025 and FY2026 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #44 of 156 Personal Care & Beauty brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.
How much does it cost to open a Pause Studio 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 $1.1M (210% above the typical Personal Care & Beauty brand's $366K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for Pause Studio?
Pause Studio only has 17 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Personal Care & Beauty brands overall see a 1.5% charge-off rate across 2,290 loans.
