Premier Martial Arts Studio franchise in Colorado: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Premier Martial Arts Studio in Colorado have taken 10 SBA loans since 1991 (average $211,480)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 14.6% is the better guide.
