Bottom line
- Total investment $889K – $1.1M including a $60K franchise fee, 9.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 65/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 4 loans (below the industry average).
- Emerging franchise — only 3 years of franchising with 10 units. Early-stage systems carry higher risk but may offer better territory availability.

Risk & Legal
Early-stage franchise with explosive growth metrics, zero financial transparency, and going concern uncertainty—suitable only for high-risk investors willing to validate unproven unit economics directly with existing operators.
Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo Item 19 disclosure: Average revenue and net income not disclosed, preventing ROI validation and profitability assessment
- 02MINORExtreme unit growth (200% YoY) suggests either aggressive recruitment or high failure rate masking — only 10 units makes trajectory unsustainable and volatility high
- 03HIGHGoing Concern = False: Franchisor may have financial stability issues or be a startup entity without proven operational history
- 04MINORHigh investment-to-information ratio: $889K-$1.1M required with minimal financial transparency or performance data
- 05MEDSmall system size (10 units) indicates limited brand recognition, unproven unit economics, and insufficient peer network for franchisees
- 06MEDMinimum royalty structure not disclosed: Could create cash flow pressure regardless of sales performance
