THE UPS STORE NON-TRADITIONAL franchise in Puerto Rico: what the public record shows

Franchisees of THE UPS STORE NON-TRADITIONAL in Puerto Rico have taken 5 SBA loans since 1991 (average $87,000)— 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 7.2% is the better guide.
