Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ascend Collection growing or shrinking?

Ascend Collection doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2024 and FY2025 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #39 of 115 Hotels & Lodging brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.

How much does it cost to open a Ascend Collection franchise?

We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $3.2M (15% above the typical Hotels & Lodging brand's $2.8M) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.

What's the SBA loan default rate for Ascend Collection?

Ascend Collection only has 13 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Hotels & Lodging brands overall see a 0.1% charge-off rate across 3,663 loans.
