The Figaro’s Pizza Franchise has a failure rate of 48% for SBA-backed franchise loans
Yet despite the obvious failures in the Figaro’s Pizza franchise program, the Figaro’s Pizza website not only cheerfully promotes the Figaro’s Pizza franchise opportunity, it boasts that it assists franchisees in accessing financing through the SBA Franchise Registry.
What the Figaro’s Pizza franchise marketing page doesn’t disclose is that it’s likely that Figaro’s Pizza franchise owners who received SBA loans may have collateralized their franchise loan with their houses or other personal assets, and nearly half were unable to repay those franchise loans… despite serious incentive to do so.
