Fairfield Inn franchise in Utah: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Fairfield Inn in Utah have taken 7 SBA loans since 1991 (average $2,507,142)— 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 1.1% is the better guide.
