Frequently Asked Questions
Is Motel 6 growing or shrinking?
Motel 6's SBA loan count fell 42% year-over-year. A decline in SBA financing doesn't necessarily mean the brand is shrinking -- franchisees may be using other financing, or SBA lending patterns may have shifted broadly.
How much does it cost to open a Motel 6 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 $2.8M (1% 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 Motel 6?
0 of 248 SBA loans to Motel 6 franchisees (0.0%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 0.1% across all Hotels & Lodging brands.
