Frequently Asked Questions

Is The Back Nine growing or shrinking?

The Back Nine's SBA loan count grew +475% year-over-year, suggesting rising financed expansion. This reflects SBA-backed financing activity, not necessarily total unit count -- see the methodology page for what this does and doesn't measure.

How much does it cost to open a The Back Nine 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 $339K (3% below the typical Fitness & Recreation brand's $350K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.

What's the SBA loan default rate for The Back Nine?

0 of 161 SBA loans to The Back Nine franchisees (0.0%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 2.0% across all Fitness & Recreation brands.
