What drove the 31/100 rating
Risk Score Breakdown
- 01MEDNo average net income disclosed in Item 19 — impossible to verify actual profitability or ROI against $85,950–$183,400 investment
- 02HIGHGoing Concern status is False — indicates potential financial instability or structural issues within franchisor operations
- 03MEDHigh royalty burden at 7% combined with undisclosed net income makes it unclear if $417,302 avg revenue actually yields acceptable margins
- 04MEDModest unit growth of 14.7% YoY with only 88 units suggests limited brand momentum and market validation
- 05MINORHigh franchise fee ($58,500) relative to total investment (64–68% of low-end investment) leaves little capital for working operations
