Americas Best Value Inn franchise in Illinois: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Americas Best Value Inn in Illinois have taken 6 SBA loans since 1991 (average $792,950)— 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 9.6% is the better guide.
