Formerly known as The Brain Center
Bottom line
- Total investment $20K – $36K including a $0 franchise fee, 10.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 64/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 23 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
Body & Brain Center presents high-risk investment characteristics: a micro-sized system (6 units) with going concern status, zero financial transparency, no territory protection, and minimal franchisor resources—unsuitable for capital-dependent franchisees.
Score breakdown · what drove the 64 / 100 rating
- 01HIGHGoing Concern status indicates financial distress or viability questions at franchisor level
- 02MINOROnly 6 units system-wide suggests minimal scale, network effects, and high failure risk
- 03MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) prevents ROI validation and earnings claims scrutiny
- 04MINORNo territory protection exposes franchisees to direct competition from other brand locations
- 05MINORLow initial investment ($19.6K-$36.3K) combined with 10% royalty and no earnings data raises profitability concerns
- 06MEDUnknown unit growth trajectory suggests stagnation or undisclosed closures in a 3-year term
- 07MINORZero franchise fee may indicate weak franchisor capitalization or desperation to recruit
