Risk & Legal
This is a high-risk investment with a collapsing or non-viable franchisor (Going Concern), unsustainable royalty structure, and a single unit generating negligible profit—avoid unless franchisor provides compelling evidence of financial recovery and unit viability.

Score breakdown · what drove the 38 / 100 verdict
- 01HIGHGoing Concern status indicates the franchisor may be financially unstable or facing viability questions
- 02MINOROnly 1 unit in system signals either brand is brand-new, collapsing, or severely underperforming
- 03MINOR60% royalty on markup is extraordinarily high and leaves minimal margin for franchisee profitability
- 04MINORAverage net income of $520/month ($6,240/year) is far below living wage; ROI on $80k-$120k investment is negative or multi-decade payback
- 05MEDUnprotected territory means unlimited competition from other franchisees or direct franchisor sales in your market
- 06MEDNo disclosed litigation but Going Concern status suggests potential undisclosed legal/financial exposure
- 07MINORFranchise fee of $60,000 combined with near-zero profitability creates immediate financial distress
- 08MINORUnknown unit growth trajectory with only 1 unit suggests franchisor cannot demonstrate system viability or franchisee success

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a DOXA franchise?
The total investment to open a DOXA franchise ranges from $80K – $121K, with an initial franchise fee of $60K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do DOXA franchise owners earn?
DOXA does not disclose average franchise owner earnings in their FDD Item 19. Not all franchisors are required to make financial performance representations. We recommend asking existing franchisees directly about their financial experience.
What is Item 19 in the DOXA FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets. Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the DOXA FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is DOXA's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for DOXA (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.
How many DOXA franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, DOXA has 1 total units in the United States, including 0 franchised units and 1 company-owned units.
Is DOXA a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates DOXA as a D-grade franchise with a verdict score of 38 out of 100 (higher is better), based on our analysis of investment costs, revenue data, SBA loan performance, and growth trends. Our rating is based solely on publicly available FDD and government data; we recommend speaking with current franchisees before making any investment decision. This is not investment advice.
