Frequently Asked Questions
Is FASTSIGNS growing or shrinking?
FASTSIGNS's SBA loan count grew +39% 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 FASTSIGNS 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 $525K (71% above the typical Other brand's $306K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for FASTSIGNS?
1 of 163 SBA loans to FASTSIGNS franchisees (0.6%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 2.1% across all Other brands.
