What drove the 62/100 rating
Risk Score Breakdown
- 01MINORNo Item 19 financial disclosure (average revenue and net income not provided) — impossible to assess actual profitability
- 02MEDExtremely small franchise system (6 units) with limited historical data for trend validation
- 03MINORVague royalty structure with undefined 'Minimum Monthly Royalty Requirements' — could create surprise cash obligations
- 04MINORHigh upfront investment ($23,260–$43,500) relative to system size raises capital-intensity concerns
- 05MINOR67% YoY unit growth from micro base (3→6 units) is mathematically impressive but statistically unreliable
