What drove the 64/100 rating

Risk Score Breakdown

  1. 01HIGHGoing Concern status indicates financial distress or viability questions at franchisor level
  2. 02MINOROnly 6 units system-wide suggests minimal scale, network effects, and high failure risk
  3. 03MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) prevents ROI validation and earnings claims scrutiny
  4. 04MINORNo territory protection exposes franchisees to direct competition from other brand locations
  5. 05MINORLow initial investment ($19.6K-$36.3K) combined with 10% royalty and no earnings data raises profitability concerns
  6. 06MEDUnknown unit growth trajectory suggests stagnation or undisclosed closures in a 3-year term
  7. 07MINORZero franchise fee may indicate weak franchisor capitalization or desperation to recruit
