Frequently Asked Questions
Is The Learning Experience growing or shrinking?
The Learning Experience's SBA loan count grew +18% 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 The Learning Experience 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 $690K (107% above the typical Health, Senior & Child Care brand's $333K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for The Learning Experience?
