Bottom line

  • Total investment $432K – $773K including a $25K franchise fee, 6.0% ongoing royalty.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 65/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 6 loans (below the industry average).
  • No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal

65
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE65 / 100

Extremely early-stage franchise with opaque financials, no franchisee performance data, franchisor stability concerns, and high capex relative to unverified revenue potential.

Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating

  1. 01MEDNo Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — unable to verify claimed 100% YoY unit growth translates to profitability
  2. 02MINOROnly 4 units in system represents extremely small, unproven franchise model with minimal track record
  3. 03HIGHGoing Concern = False indicates potential financial instability at franchisor level despite growth claims
  4. 04MEDHigh investment range ($431K–$773K) with no disclosed average revenue creates ROI uncertainty and payback risk
  5. 05MED6% royalty on undisclosed revenue makes it impossible to model actual net income or breakeven timeline
  6. 06MINOR100% YoY growth from 2 to 4 units is statistically unreliable — could indicate brand is pre-revenue or franchisor-owned units masking franchisee performance
