Clarion Inn & Suites franchise in Florida: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Clarion Inn & Suites in Florida have taken 6 SBA loans since 1991 (average $2,660,166)— 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 21.9% is the better guide.
