Bottom line

  • Total investment $74K – $317K including a $30K franchise fee, 10.0% ongoing royalty.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 62/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 11 loans (below the industry average).
  • System contracting at -15.8% CAGR over 3 years. Investigate whether closures are franchisor-driven (consolidation) or franchisee-driven (economics).

Overview

About

EagleRider franchisees operate motorcycle rental and retail locations, typically at or near tourist destinations. Day-to-day operations include managing bike inventory, conducting rentals/returns with damage inspections, executing retail merchandise sales (helmets, gear), handling customer service/insurance coordination, and performing basic maintenance. Revenue depends heavily on seasonal tourism fluctuations and local competition.

Risk & Legal

62
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE62 / 100

EagleRider presents HIGH RISK due to shrinking franchise network, missing financial performance data, unprotected territories, and unclear franchisor stability.

Score breakdown · what drove the 62 / 100 rating

  1. 01MEDUnit count declined 11.1% year-over-year (154 to ~137 units), indicating system contraction and potential saturation or performance issues
  2. 02MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosed in FDD Item 19, making ROI projections impossible and preventing informed investment decisions
  3. 03MINORUnprotected territory creates direct competition risk — multiple franchisees could operate in same area, cannibalizing rental revenue
  4. 04MINORComplex royalty structure (10% rentals + 5% retail OR $350/month minimum) may incentivize underreporting of gross revenue to avoid higher fees
  5. 05MINORWide investment range ($73.5K–$317K) suggests inconsistent startup costs and unclear capital requirements across locations
  6. 06MINORHigh royalty burden (10% of gross rentals) leaves thin margins in seasonal/tourism-dependent motorcycle rental business
  7. 07HIGHGoing Concern flag is FALSE — ambiguous wording raises questions about whether franchisor disclosed financial viability concerns
