Holiday Inn Express franchise in South Dakota: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Holiday Inn Express in South Dakota have taken 6 SBA loans since 1991 (average $1,522,000)— 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.
