Frequently Asked Questions

Is School of Rock growing or shrinking?

School of Rock's SBA loan count fell 47% 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 School of Rock 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 $416K (167% above the typical Education & Training brand's $156K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.

What's the SBA loan default rate for School of Rock?

0 of 79 SBA loans to School of Rock franchisees (0.0%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 2.6% across all Education & Training brands.
