Risk & Legal
Declining unit count, missing financial disclosures, and limited system scale present material risks despite no litigation or territory protection.
Score breakdown · what drove the 52 / 100 rating
- 01MINORUnit count declining 3.4% YoY (28 units total) indicates shrinking franchise system with possible franchisee underperformance or churn
- 02MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19 absent) prevents ROI verification and raises transparency concerns
- 03MINORWide investment range ($46K–$302K) suggests inconsistent unit economics or unclear cost structure
- 04MED8% royalty on gross (not net) revenues with undisclosed monthly minimum may create cash flow pressure for low-revenue operators
- 05MINORSmall system size (28 units) limits franchisor resources and support infrastructure, increasing failure risk
