Frequently Asked Questions
Is The Groutsmith growing or shrinking?
The Groutsmith doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2024 and FY2025 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #279 of 294 Home & Repair 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 The Groutsmith 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 $163K (8% below the typical Home & Repair Services brand's $177K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for The Groutsmith?
The Groutsmith only has 1 SBA loan on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Home & Repair Services brands overall see a 2.9% charge-off rate across 4,629 loans.
