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 $239K (42% below the typical Retail brand's $415K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
