Risk & Legal
Body Alive Studio presents HIGH RISK due to going concern status, minimal unit count, absent financial performance disclosure, and high capital requirements with unproven returns.

- 01HIGHGoing Concern status indicates financial instability at franchisor level
- 02MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) prevents ROI validation
- 03MINOROnly 7 units across entire system suggests minimal scale and validation
- 04MINORHigh initial investment ($470k-$686k) paired with unproven unit economics creates significant risk
- 05MED10% royalty on gross sales (not net) is aggressive given lack of disclosed profitability data
- 06MINORUnknown franchisee growth trajectory and unit churn rate
- 07HIGHNo litigation disclosure does not guarantee legal stability, especially with going concern status
