How much does a Baymont Inn franchise make?

Baymont Inn is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every travel & hospitality brand that discloses earnings in the Hotel, travel & hospitality franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Baymont Inn franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Baymont Inn's 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Baymont Inn franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Baymont Inn franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.

Baymont Inn lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Baymont Inn's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Baymont Inn itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.

Baymont Inn closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Baymont Inn will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Baymont Inn's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a travel & hospitality of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Baymont Inn's latest tables show a stable franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 5.9%, against a travel & hospitality median of 4.1% — worse than the category. Net franchised outlets moved 0 to 547 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Baymont Inn?

Baymont Inn's franchise is offered by BAYMONT FRANCHISE SYSTEMS, INC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

Baymont Inn franchise — frequently asked

Who owns Baymont Inn — who is the franchisor?

Baymont Inn's most recently filed FDD (2026) names BAYMONT FRANCHISE SYSTEMS, INC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.

How much does a Baymont Inn franchise cost?

Baymont Inn's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $105,591 – $145,623 and a 6% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against travel & hospitality peers it sits in the top quartile (median $3,332,700).

How much profit does a Baymont Inn franchise make?

Baymont Inn discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties (6% of gross for Baymont Inn), the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any Baymont Inn franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate.

Does Baymont Inn disclose financial performance (Item 19)?

Yes — Baymont Inn reports unit-level earnings in Item 19. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly, so check Item 19 of the source FDD for the numbers.

Are there lawsuits against Baymont Inn?

Baymont Inn's most recently filed FDD (2026) discloses legal proceedings in Item 3. Item 3 covers the franchisor, its predecessors, parents and affiliates — so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Baymont Inn itself, and a disclosure is not a finding of wrongdoing.

Is Baymont Inn a good franchise to buy?

Nobody can answer that from Baymont Inn's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against travel & hospitality peers and against your own budget. Our read on this filing is medium risk. Every figure behind that read is on this page for free. If you're comparing options, the free shortlist on this page matches you with 5–10 franchises that fit your budget and industry.
