Frequently Asked Questions
Is Safari Kid growing or shrinking?
Safari Kid doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2025 and FY2026 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #88 of 170 Health, Senior & Child Care brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.
How much does it cost to open a Safari Kid 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 $984K (196% above 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 Safari Kid?
Safari Kid only has 5 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Health, Senior & Child Care brands overall see a 1.1% charge-off rate across 3,806 loans.
