FAQ:
Which Franchises Have The Highest Failure Rate?
Answer: It is generally agreed by
most small business experts and lenders that starting a
franchise is safer than starting an independent
business. However franchise businesses do fail, and some fail
quite regularly. And some franchise categories and particular concepts do appear have a
much higher failure rate than others. Its been my experience
that fast food related franchises including juice bars an
Ice cream shops do seem have a higher failure rate that
other categories like
service franchises. You can view a
list here of some popular franchises that have some of
the relatively highest failure rates according to SBA
franchise loan default statistics.
