Bottom line
- Total investment $80K – $170K including a $40K franchise fee, 5.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 75/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal
Extremely high-risk micro-franchise showing corporate going concern issues, zero financial transparency, and insufficient operational track record to validate franchisee profitability.
Score breakdown · what drove the 75 / 100 rating
- 01HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — indicates serious financial/operational distress at corporate level
- 02MINOROnly 2 units in system — extremely small franchise with minimal scale, support infrastructure, or proof of concept
- 03MINORNo financial disclosures (Item 19) — cannot verify average unit economics, profitability, or ROI claims
- 04MINORHigh initial investment ($80K-$170K) relative to system size creates disproportionate risk with unproven unit economics
- 05MINORUnknown unit growth trajectory — no evidence of system expansion or franchisee success
- 06MINORHome care is labor-intensive, high-compliance industry — corporate support critical but undemonstrated with only 2 units
