Frequently Asked Questions
Is LIME Painting growing or shrinking?
LIME Painting's SBA loan count fell 86% year-over-year. A decline in SBA financing doesn't necessarily mean the brand is shrinking -- franchisees may be using other financing, or SBA lending patterns may have shifted broadly.
How much does it cost to open a LIME Painting 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 $131K (26% 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 LIME Painting?
2 of 28 SBA loans to LIME Painting franchisees (7.1%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 2.9% across all Home & Repair Services brands.
