Fastsigns franchise in Oklahoma: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Fastsigns in Oklahoma have taken 9 SBA loans since 1991 (average $312,800)— 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 11.4% is the better guide.

Same sector, same state, same public records — how Fastsigns compares to the systems a buyer in Oklahoma would actually be choosing between. Local rates under 10 resolved loans are marked thin, not hidden.
A broker is paid by the franchisor to place you. I'm paid by you — and the job is pressure-testing Fastsigns's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
