The Pita Pit Franchise has a failure rate of 52% for SBA-backed franchise loans
Despite it’s high SBA loan default rate, Pita Pit not only continues to recruit franchise owners, it brags about its relationship with lenders:
…we do have relationships with a number of lending sources that provide SBA loans, non-SBA loans, and options that allow you to invest in a new business using IRA or 401k monies. We are an approved franchise on the SBA registry which allows a more efficient loan application process.
What Pita Pit doesn’t point out is that it’s likely that Pita Pit franchise owners who received SBA loans may have collateralized their franchise loan with their houses or other personal assets, and more than half were unable to repay those franchise loans… despite serious incentive to do so.
