What drove the 65/100 rating
Risk Score Breakdown
- 01MINORNo Item 19 disclosure of average unit volumes, revenue, or profitability — impossible to assess ROI on $173.5K-$251.2K investment
- 02MEDOnly 3 units in system with 50% YoY growth indicates extremely early-stage franchise (grew from 2 to 3 units) — limited track record and franchisor stability unproven
- 03MEDHigh franchise fee ($140,000) represents 81% of minimum total investment with no disclosed unit economics to justify cost
- 04HIGHGoing Concern status = False suggests potential financial instability at franchisor level, raising questions about support, marketing, and long-term viability
- 05MINORUnknown royalty structure creates hidden cost uncertainty that could materially impact franchisee profitability
- 06MINOROnly 5-year initial term (shorter than industry standard 10 years) — high renewal risk and franchisor leverage
