The Goddard School SBA loans by year
How The Goddard School SBA loans have performed
Outcomes for every funded The Goddard School 7(a) loan approved since FY2010. Each SBA loan usually finances one location, so read these as an estimate of units.
Source: SBA FOIA 7(a) loan-level data. Defaulted means the SBA purchased the guaranty (charged off, or purchased and not yet charged off). Recent loans have had less time to default, and small loan counts swing widely, so one or two loans can move these percentages a lot.
How to use this
The lenders above have actually closed SBA 7(a) loans for The Goddard School franchisees, so they already understand the brand's model, unit economics, and franchise agreement. That familiarity usually means a faster, cleaner underwrite than a lender seeing the concept for the first time.
A lender being active historically doesn't mean they're the right fit for your deal size, location, or timing right now. That's where we come in, and we match your The Goddard School deal to a lender currently funding this brand.
