Baymont Inn & Suites franchise in Alabama: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Baymont Inn & Suites in Alabama have taken 7 SBA loans since 1991 (average $1,364,571)— 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 3.5% is the better guide.
