Coffee Beanery franchise opportunity:  Are you considering it?

Be aware that data released by the Small Business Administration (SBA) indicates that Coffee Beanery franchise owners who qualified for SBA-backed franchise loans have an extremely high loan failure rate of 48%.

Coffee Beanery franchise owners have an alarming 48% SBA default rate.

The apparent drop in Coffee Beanery franchises in recent years is also a franchise red flag.

Coffee Beanery Franchise
Coffee Beanery U.S. franchises in 2008: 91
Coffee Beanery U.S. franchises in 2012: 76
Growth in franchise units 2008 – 2012 (#) -15
Growth in franchise units 2008 – 2012 (%): -16%
SBA loans granted since 2001: 33
SBA loan failure rate: 48%
Sources:  Entrepreneur (growth), company website (growth), Coleman report (SBA)

The inability to repay an SBA-backed loan (or any franchise loan, for that matter) indicates a serious situation for the franchisee. 

It’s likely that Coffee Beanery franchise owners who received SBA loans may have collateralized their franchise loan with their homes or other personal assets, and many were unable to repay those franchise loans… despite the serious incentive to do so.
