What drove the 59/100 rating

Risk Score Breakdown

  1. 01MINORNo Item 19 financial disclosure (avg revenue and net income not provided) — impossible to assess actual profitability or ROI on $144k-$262k investment
  2. 02HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, indicating potential financial instability or uncertainty at franchisor level
  3. 03MEDModest unit growth of 11.8% YoY with only 19 total units suggests limited brand traction and scale
  4. 04MED4% royalty structure with no disclosed revenue benchmarks makes it difficult to model break-even scenarios
  5. 05MINORSmall franchise system (19 units) increases operational fragility and support quality concerns
