Frequently Asked Questions
Is The Human Bean growing or shrinking?
The Human Bean doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2025 and FY2026 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #73 of 1,075 Restaurants & Food brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.
How much does it cost to open a The Human Bean 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 $693K (65% above the typical Restaurants & Food brand's $419K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for The Human Bean?
5 of 33 SBA loans to The Human Bean franchisees (15.2%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 1.3% across all Restaurants & Food brands.
