CNN Money’s 10 Great Franchise Bets for 2011: Franchises with the Lowest SBA Loan Failure Rates

I just came across a very interesting article on CNN Money’s website where they named the 10 Great Franchise Bets for 2011.  These are the franchises with the lowest SBA loan failure rates (only franchises with at least 70 SBA-backed loans in the past five years were included).

I was excited when I realized that I’ve featured 6 of the 10 franchises on this list.  So to celebrate their inclusion, allow me to refer back to the articles I’ve written on these top franchises.

Here are the 10 Great Franchise Bets for 2011 according to CNN Money:

1.  Little Caesar’s – 1% SBA Loan Failure Rate (1 out of 103)

2.  Jimmy John’s – 1.7% (2 out of 121)

3.  Wingstop – 2.3% (2 out of 88)

4.  Days Inn – 2.3% (2 out of 87)

5.  Anytime Fitness – 2.7% (4 out of 147)
