CERTA PROPAINTERS franchise in Kansas: what the public record shows

Franchisees of CERTA PROPAINTERS in Kansas have taken 5 SBA loans since 1991 (average $205,160)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 15.8% is the better guide. Its latest FDD Item 20 state table reports 2 franchised outlets in Kansas (fiscal 2025) — about 0.07 per 100k residents.
