What drove the 65/100 rating

Risk Score Breakdown

  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
