Bottom line

  • Total investment $299K – $609K including a $40K franchise fee, 6.0% ongoing royalty.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 62/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 169 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

62
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE62 / 100

Early-stage, single-unit franchise with undisclosed financials, questionable franchisor stability, and no operational precedent—extremely high risk for franchisees.

Score breakdown · what drove the 62 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINOROnly 1 unit in system with unknown growth trajectory indicates unproven franchise model and extreme lack of scale
  2. 02MINORNo Item 19 (average revenue/net income) disclosure raises transparency concerns and prevents ROI validation
  3. 03HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, suggesting the franchisor itself may face financial viability questions
  4. 04MINORWide investment range ($299K-$608K) without corresponding revenue disclosure makes unit economics opaque
  5. 05MINORSingle location creates zero peer validation and high failure risk with no operational track record to reference
