What drove the 75/100 rating
Risk Score Breakdown
- 01HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — indicates the franchisor may be financially unstable or operationally distressed
- 02MINOROnly 1 existing unit — no proven scalability, no franchisee track record, system appears pre-revenue or collapsing
- 03MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure — cannot validate unit economics or franchisee profitability claims
- 04MEDHigh initial investment ($70k–$125k) with 6% royalty on undisclosed revenues creates cash flow risk
- 05MINOR10-year term locks franchisee into relationship with unproven, single-unit system
- 06HIGHNo litigation disclosed but Going Concern status suggests serious operational or legal problems may exist
