Maaco Auto Painting & Bodyworks/Maaco Collisi franchise in Wisconsin: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Maaco Auto Painting & Bodyworks/Maaco Collisi in Wisconsin have taken 9 SBA loans since 1991 (average $289,000)— 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 13.1% is the better guide.
