Frequently Asked Questions

Is Miracle-Ear growing or shrinking?

Miracle-Ear doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2022 and FY2023 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #123 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 Miracle-Ear 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 $662K (60% above 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 Miracle-Ear?

Miracle-Ear only has 6 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.
