What drove the 75/100 rating

Risk Score Breakdown

  1. 01MINOROnly 1 franchised unit in system indicates minimal proven model or severe market rejection
  2. 02MINORNo Item 19 (average revenue/income disclosure) provided — cannot validate return on $149k-$400k investment
  3. 03HIGHGoing concern status is False, suggesting potential corporate financial instability or viability questions
  4. 04MED6% royalty on undisclosed revenues makes ROI projection impossible; high initial investment without revenue benchmarks
  5. 05MINORSingle unit suggests franchise is either brand new, failing, or both — extreme execution risk
