How much does it cost to open a Sylvan Learning Centers 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 $417K (168% above the typical Education & Training brand's $156K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
