Bottom line

  • Total investment $137K – $568K including a $50K franchise fee, 15.0% ongoing royalty.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated AVOID with a risk score of 79/100.
  • No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal

79
Risk · 0-100
AVOID79 / 100

Early-stage franchise with single unit, undisclosed financials, false going concern status, and high royalty burden presents substantial execution risk with minimal validation data.

Score breakdown · what drove the 79 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINOROnly 1 franchisee unit in system with unknown growth trajectory suggests minimal track record and unproven scalability
  2. 02MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosure (missing Item 19) prevents validation of ROI claims and profitability benchmarks
  3. 03HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, indicating potential financial instability or lack of operational sustainability at corporate level
  4. 04MINORHigh royalty rate of 15% on gross sales combined with $50,000 franchise fee creates significant margin pressure before franchisee profitability
  5. 05MINORWide investment range ($136,900–$567,750) suggests poor cost standardization and high variability in startup requirements
  6. 06MEDSingle unit provides no peer network, limited learning curve data, and high replication risk if that franchisee fails
