How to Open Your Own Microtel by Wyndham Franchise

To be part of the Microtel by Wyndham team, you should make sure you are financially ready for an initial investment, which will include a franchise fee and other potential startup fees. You will need enough capital available to cover royalty percentages and advertising fees. The initial franchise fee grants you the license to run a business using the Microtel by Wyndham brand name and logo. The term of agreement for a Microtel by Wyndham franchisee is typically 20 years, at which point both you and the franchisor will determine if you wish to renew and continue operating the territory.
