Risk & Legal
Severe system contraction (−45.5% units), going concern status, and razor-thin franchisee profitability create extreme risk despite lack of litigation.
Score breakdown · what drove the 64 / 100 rating
- 01MINORSystem collapsed 45.5% YoY (7 units remaining) — indicates severe franchisee failure or franchisor distress
- 02MINORProfitability crisis: $20,904 net income on $588,149 revenue (3.5% net margin) is unsustainable after 8% royalty paid
- 03HIGHGoing Concern status = franchisor's viability questioned; may lack resources to support franchisees
- 04MINORHigh initial investment ($209.5K-$580K) paired with declining unit count suggests ROI challenges
- 05MINORNo Item 19 (financial performance representations) — unable to independently verify revenue/profit claims
- 06MINORHigh leverage: 8% royalty on thin 3.5% margins leaves minimal operating cushion for franchisees
