What drove the 72/100 rating
Risk Score Breakdown
- 01MINORSystem declining 30% YoY (14 units) indicates severe franchisee struggle or franchisor support failure
- 02MINORNo Item 19 (Average Revenue/Net Income) disclosure prevents accurate ROI assessment on $80.7K-$124.5K investment
- 03HIGHLitigation history (2017 settlement) with allegations of fund conversion and contract breaches suggests franchisor-franchisee trust issues
- 04MINORMinimum weekly royalty fee ($600-$1,250/week = $31.2K-$65K/year) is punitive and creates negative cash flow risk for underperforming locations
- 05HIGHGoing Concern = FALSE indicates potential financial instability at franchisor level; reputational/operational risk if company fails
- 06MINORHigh blended royalty structure (3% temp + 8% permanent placements) compounds minimum fees and reduces franchisee profitability margin
