- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 64/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 22 loans (below the industry average).

Risk & Legal
Declining franchise system with unresolved going concern status, opaque financial metrics, and royalty structure misalignment that presents substantial investment risk.
Score breakdown · what drove the 64 / 100 rating
- 01MINORSystem declining 20% YoY (8 units) suggests significant franchisee dissatisfaction or market contraction
- 02HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — franchisor may face financial/operational viability issues
- 03MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosed (Item 19) — impossible to assess profitability or ROI
- 04MINORHigh franchise fee ($189k) combined with territory-based royalty structure (1/3 of collections) creates unclear earnings model
- 05MINORConfusing royalty structure (1/3 of collections + 6% of gross sales for pilot) lacks transparency and may incentivize aggressive billing
- 06MINOROnly 8 remaining units limits peer validation and suggests potential system failure trajectory
- 07MINOR10-year term is lengthy given declining unit count and unproven unit economics
