Failed Franchises Measured by SBA Loan Failure Rates

Sounds like strong language.  Thanks to our friends at thefranchisehound.com we have a list of SBA Loan Failure Rates for loans doled out to franchised businesses.  An important disclaimer is that the list is not the actual failure rates of franchisees for a the listed franchises, it is only a list of SBA Loans gone bad that were given to franchisees of the franchises.  Note that even 3 of 14 SBA loans to McDonald’s franchisees went bad.  Wow, McDonald’s seem like a sure thing.  But, just goes to show, no business is immune to failure.
