What drove the 61/100 rating

Risk Score Breakdown

  1. 01MINOROnly 3 franchised units with unknown growth trajectory raises questions about system viability and market demand
  2. 02MEDNo average net income disclosed in Item 19 prevents accurate ROI calculation and suggests potential profitability concerns
  3. 03HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, indicating the franchisor may have financial stability issues or be in early-stage development
  4. 04MINORHigh royalty burden ($500-$750/month) relative to average revenue ($172,383) equals 3.5-5.2% effective royalty rate, which is sustainable but limits margins in a niche market
  5. 05MEDExtremely limited unit count makes it difficult to validate business model consistency and suggests minimal franchisor infrastructure
  6. 06HIGHNo litigation disclosed could indicate either a clean record OR incomplete disclosure history
