Score breakdown · what drove the 40 / 100 rating
- 01MINOROnly 1 franchised unit despite system claims suggests minimal franchise growth or early-stage system with unproven model
- 02HIGHNo 'Going Concern' statement filed indicates potential financial instability or lack of formal FDD Item 21 disclosures
- 03MEDHigh investment range ($211k-$555k) with limited multi-unit validation data creates profitability uncertainty
- 04MINORRoyalty rate of 6% is reasonable but with only 1 unit operating, there's no proof of concept at scale
- 05MINORSignificant gap between average net income ($216,954) and investment range suggests 0.4-1.0x ROI in year one is optimistic
