Frequently Asked Questions
Is Smartstyle growing or shrinking?
Smartstyle doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2021 and FY2022 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #27 of 156 Personal Care & Beauty brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.
How much does it cost to open a Smartstyle 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 $717K (96% above the typical Personal Care & Beauty brand's $366K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for Smartstyle?
1 of 29 SBA loans to Smartstyle franchisees (3.4%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 1.5% across all Personal Care & Beauty brands.
