Bottom line

  • Total investment $118K – $370K including a $40K franchise fee, 7.0% ongoing royalty.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 62/100.
  • No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal

Risk · 0-100
MODERATE62 / 100

Contracting franchise system with prior litigation, undisclosed financials, and high investment cost creates meaningful profitability and viability concerns.

Score breakdown · what drove the 62 / 100 rating

  1. 01MEDUnit count declined 9.2% YoY (698 units), indicating system contraction and potential saturation or franchisee struggles
  2. 02HIGHLitigation involving fraud and disclosure allegations settled in 2021 suggests prior compliance issues and trust concerns
  3. 03MEDNo disclosed average revenue or net income (Item 19 missing) prevents validation of franchise profitability claims
  4. 04MINORDual royalty structure (7% vs. 4%) creates complexity and potential revenue volatility depending on sales mix
  5. 05MINORHigh initial investment range ($118k–$370k) with declining unit count raises ROI recovery risk
