The Philly Connection franchise has an outrageously high SBA loan default rate of 56%.
What’s even more shocking is that the Philly Connection franchise system only lists 32 operational locations, yet they’ve had more than 80 franchise loans approved since 2001. More than 1/2 of those loans ended with the franchisees defaulting.

That’s right: More than half of the Philly Connection franchise owners who received SBA loans, some of whom may have collateralized their franchise loan with their house or other personal assets, were unable to repay those franchise loans… despite serious incentive to do so.
