Commercial Cleaning Franchise System Challenges SBA’s Determination of Eligibility for Paycheck Protection Program Loans Under CARES Act
Foley & Lardner – Three members of the JANI-KING® franchise system filed suit last week in federal court in Washington, D.C. alleging that the United States Small Business Administration (the SBA) has discriminated against franchised businesses in general and commercial cleaning franchises in particular — including the JANI-KING® franchise system — by unlawfully restricting eligibility for loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
