Hospitality International recently announced its brands’ placement on the (SBA) Franchise Registry, a national online listing of franchise systems whose franchisees receive expedited loan processing when applying for financial assistance from the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Two of Hospitality International’s brands, Red Carpet Inn and Scottish Inns, were recently placed on the notable Registry that lists franchise systems whose franchise agreement has been pre-approved by the SBA. This, thereby, shortens the loan process and ensures consistent eligibility decisions.
According to Tim D. Blalock, president & CEO of Hospitality International, the brand listing poises Hospitality International for continued growth.
“We are glad that Hospitality International’s brands were recognized through this registry. A lot of hard work, teamwork and determination were involved in achieving this nationwide approved status with the U.S. Small Business Administration,” said Blalock. “We are so pleased to have this recognition and placement on the Registry.”
Hospitality International, Inc., which includes Red Carpet Inn, Passport Inn, Master Hosts Inns, Downtowner Inns, and Scottish Inns brands, has for the past 25 years established a strong reputation as a provider of economy and mid-scale hotel franchise brands. The company is dedicated to providing comfortable, affordable lodging to its customers.
“The financing process can be one of the largest hurdles and most difficult challenges when opening a franchise, but the Franchise Registry makes it easy and simple for franchisees to expedite loans,” Blalock said. “Our mission is to provide exceptional value and alternatives to the hospitality industry and to deliver the best expertise and service to every hotel we represent.”
