What drove the 66/100 rating

Risk Score Breakdown

  1. 01MEDUnit count declined 30% year-over-year (21 units → ~15 units), indicating severe system contraction and franchisee attrition
  2. 02MEDNet income not disclosed in Item 19, preventing ROI validation and obscuring true profitability
  3. 03HIGHGoing Concern = False suggests potential franchisor financial instability or operational viability questions
  4. 04MINORHigh royalty burden: 11% of gross sales PLUS $250/week minimum ($13,000/year floor) creates cash flow pressure on low-margin service businesses
  5. 05MEDAverage revenue of $182,547 with undisclosed net income means franchisee profitability could be razor-thin after $45,000 franchise fee amortization
