SERVICEMASTER RESTORE franchise in Michigan: what the public record shows
Franchisees of SERVICEMASTER RESTORE in Michigan have taken 11 SBA loans since 1991 (average $317,545)— 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 7.6% is the better guide. Its latest FDD Item 20 state table reports 74 franchised outlets in Michigan (fiscal 2025) — about 0.73 per 100k residents.
