When owners got into trouble

share of failures by year

Too few failures to show a pattern.

Failures usually cluster once the opening cash is spent and the first rent increase lands. Plan working capital for that window, not for month one.

Who still lends on it

last two fiscal years

No lender funded a unit of this brand in the last two fiscal years on record. That is itself worth knowing — it usually means banks have stepped back, which makes financing harder and pricier.

Fewer active lenders means less competition on your rate, and a harder time if the first bank declines.

Each year's owners, as they aged

cumulative % of loan dollars charged off

Not enough history yet to build a triangle.

Each row is one year's crop of new owners. Read across to watch them age; read down a column to compare different years at the same point in their life. Blank cells are simply too recent to know.
