Bottom line

  • Total investment $56K – $108K including a $15K franchise fee, 3.0% ongoing royalty.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 75/100.
  • No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

ROIC above 100% usually means the revenue figure is a system-wide aggregate or top-cohort number rather than a single-unit average. Verify the "Revenue · per unit" field against the brand's FDD Item 19 detail tables before relying on this output.

Risk & Legal

75
Risk · 0-100
CAUTION75 / 100

Single-unit franchise with no financial transparency, false going concern status, and undisclosed performance metrics presents extreme risk of unproven business model and franchisor viability.

Score breakdown · what drove the 75 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINOROnly 1 operating unit in entire system signals no proven scalability or multi-unit validation
  2. 02MINORZero financial disclosure (no Item 19 with avg revenue/net income) makes ROI impossible to assess
  3. 03HIGHGoing concern status is FALSE, indicating potential franchisor financial instability or operational concerns
  4. 04MINOR3-year term is unusually short; suggests franchisor uncertainty or high franchisee failure risk
  5. 05MINORHybrid royalty structure ($250 minimum) may be unprofitable for sub-$8,333/month revenue locations
  6. 06HIGHNo litigation disclosed but single-unit system provides no track record of franchisee support or dispute patterns
