Holiday Inn Express/Holiday Inn Express & Suites franchise in Massachusetts: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Holiday Inn Express/Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Massachusetts have taken 16 SBA loans since 1991 (average $2,050,000)— 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 11.7% is the better guide.
