Minuteman Press franchise in Kansas: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Minuteman Press in Kansas have taken 5 SBA loans since 1991 (average $90,390)— 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 23.5% is the better guide.

A broker is paid by the franchisor to place you. An independent CPA is paid by you — and the job is pressure-testing Minuteman Press's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
