Bottom line
- Total investment $164K – $256K including a $100K franchise fee.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 65/100.
- System contracting at -21.4% CAGR over 3 years. Investigate whether closures are franchisor-driven (consolidation) or franchisee-driven (economics).

Risk & Legal
Egoscue presents meaningful investment risk due to non-disclosure of financial performance metrics, micro-scale system size, lack of territorial protection, and opaque royalty calculations that could impair unit economics.
Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo Item 19 (Average Unit Volume) disclosed — impossible to assess ROI on $163.5K-$255.5K investment
- 02MEDOnly 24 units system-wide indicates very small, unproven franchise model with limited track record
- 03MINORNo territory protection creates direct competition risk from other franchisees or company-owned locations
- 04MINORHigh royalty structure (greater of $2,500/mo floor or 6% of sales) with unclear minimum thresholds makes cash flow unpredictable
- 05MINOR5-year term is shorter than industry standard (10 years typical), requiring renegotiation sooner
- 06MEDZero disclosed unit growth data raises questions about system stagnation or attrition
