Risk & Legal

65
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE65 / 100

Early-stage boxing franchise with opaque financial performance data, minimal unit base, franchisor financial concerns, and undocumented cost drivers — suitable only for investors with high risk tolerance and strong due diligence capability.

Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINOROnly 4 franchised units with unknown growth trajectory suggests minimal system traction and scalability concerns
  2. 02MEDNo Item 19 (Financial Performance Representations) disclosed — cannot verify if average revenue/net income figures are typical or outliers
  3. 03HIGHGoing Concern status is False, indicating potential financial instability at franchisor level that could affect support and survival
  4. 04MINORWide investment range ($450K-$1.56M) with vague cost breakdown suggests high variability and unclear unit economics
  5. 05MINOR7.5% royalty on adjusted gross sales creates revenue recognition disputes and unclear payment calculation methodology
