Frequently Asked Questions
Is TruBlue growing or shrinking?
TruBlue doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2025 and FY2026 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #81 of 294 Home & Repair Services brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.
How much does it cost to open a TruBlue 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 $130K (27% below the typical Home & Repair Services brand's $177K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for TruBlue?
TruBlue only has 15 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Home & Repair Services brands overall see a 2.9% charge-off rate across 4,629 loans.
