H&R Block franchise in Kansas: what the public record shows
Franchisees of H&R Block in Kansas have taken 8 SBA loans since 1991 (average $260,500)— 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 2.7% is the better guide. Its latest FDD Item 20 state table reports 71 franchised outlets in Kansas (fiscal 2019) — about 2.39 per 100k residents.
