Bottom line

  • Total investment $163K – $283K including a $50K franchise fee, 10.0% ongoing royalty.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 77/100.
  • No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Overview

About

Advanced Laser Restoration franchisees operate service businesses using laser technology to restore surfaces (likely automotive paint, stone, or other materials). Day-to-day work involves client consultations, equipment operation, quality control, and possibly mobile service delivery. The business model is entirely dependent on franchisor-provided training, equipment sourcing, and operational systems.

Risk & Legal

77
Risk · 0-100
CAUTION77 / 100

This is a nascent, financially unstable franchise with a single unit, undisclosed financials, no territory protection, and franchisor going concern issues—representing extreme execution and financial risk.

Score breakdown · what drove the 77 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINOROnly 1 franchise unit in system with unknown growth trajectory indicates potential system collapse or very early stage with unproven model
  2. 02MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (no Item 19) prevents ROI validation and suggests franchisor may lack performance data or is hiding poor results
  3. 03HIGHGoing concern status is FALSE, meaning the franchisor itself may have financial viability issues that could threaten support and system stability
  4. 04MINORUnprotected territory creates direct competition risk—franchisor could authorize competing units in your market without restriction
  5. 05MED10% royalty on undisclosed revenue streams means you could owe significant fees on sales you cannot verify against industry benchmarks
  6. 06MEDHigh investment range ($163K–$283K) with no disclosed earnings makes ROI timeline and break-even analysis impossible to calculate
  7. 07MINOR10-year term locks you into a relationship with a 1-unit franchisor lacking proven scalability or operational infrastructure
  8. 08HIGHAbsence of any litigation disclosure combined with going concern status raises questions about transparency and financial stability
