Risk & Legal
Single-unit franchise with undisclosed profitability, unproven growth model, and corporate going concern issues presents high financial risk for franchisee investment.
Score breakdown · what drove the 57 / 100 rating
- 01MINOROnly 1 unit in entire system indicates brand is either brand-new or has failed to achieve meaningful growth/retention
- 02MEDNet income not disclosed in Item 19 prevents ROI validation; average $284K revenue may not translate to acceptable profit after 6% royalty + operating costs
- 03HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, suggesting potential financial instability or viability questions at corporate level
- 04MINORHigh initial investment range ($163K-$247K) with minimal proven unit economics creates significant downside risk
- 05MINORNo growth trajectory visible; single unit provides no evidence of replicable, scalable business model
- 06MINORLack of comparable franchisee performance data makes benchmarking impossible
