Frequently Asked Questions

Is i9 Sports growing or shrinking?

i9 Sports doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2023 and FY2024 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #89 of 302 Fitness & Recreation brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.

How much does it cost to open a i9 Sports 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 $271K (23% 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 i9 Sports?

i9 Sports only has 11 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Fitness & Recreation brands overall see a 2.0% charge-off rate across 5,280 loans.
