- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 67/100.

Risk & Legal
Falbo Bros is a micro-franchise with concerning financial opacity, going concern status, and no profitability benchmarks — presenting substantial due diligence and cash flow recovery risks.

- 02MEDOnly 7 total units system-wide indicates minimal scale, limited support infrastructure, and high failure risk
- 03HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — suggests franchisor financial instability or viability questions
- 04MINORWide investment range ($40K-$250K) with no corresponding revenue/profit data creates unpredictable outcomes
- 05HIGHNo disclosed litigation but going concern issue suggests potential undisclosed legal or operational problems
- 06MED5-year term is short for pizza QSR; limited runway to recoup $15K franchise fee + buildout costs
