Frequently Asked Questions
Is Just Between Friends growing or shrinking?
Just Between Friends doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2025 and FY2026 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #151 of 413 Retail brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.
How much does it cost to open a Just Between Friends 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 $112K (73% below the typical Retail brand's $415K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for Just Between Friends?
Just Between Friends only has 5 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Retail brands overall see a 1.1% charge-off rate across 4,387 loans.
