Frequently Asked Questions
Is World of Sourdough growing or shrinking?
World of Sourdough's SBA loan count fell 20% year-over-year. A decline in SBA financing doesn't necessarily mean the brand is shrinking -- franchisees may be using other financing, or SBA lending patterns may have shifted broadly.
How much does it cost to open a World of Sourdough 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 $298K (29% below 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 World of Sourdough?
World of Sourdough only has 11 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Restaurants & Food brands overall see a 1.3% charge-off rate across 11,372 loans.
