Frequently Asked Questions

Is Set the Stage growing or shrinking?

Set the Stage's SBA loan count grew +100% year-over-year, suggesting rising financed expansion. This reflects SBA-backed financing activity, not necessarily total unit count -- see the methodology page for what this does and doesn't measure.

How much does it cost to open a Set the Stage 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 $238K (5% below the typical Business & Professional Services brand's $250K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.

What's the SBA loan default rate for Set the Stage?

0 of 26 SBA loans to Set the Stage franchisees (0.0%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 2.1% across all Business & Professional Services brands.
