Bottom line
- Total investment $199K – $891K including a $40K franchise fee, 11.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 65/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal
Early-stage franchisor with minimal unit base, undisclosed unit economics, extreme cost variability, and Going Concern issues creates significant uncertainty around franchisee profitability and franchisor viability.
Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating
- 01MINORExtremely wide investment range ($199K-$890K) suggests inconsistent unit economics and unclear cost structure
- 02MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosed — impossible to assess ROI, payback period, or profitability benchmarks
- 03MINORTiered royalty structure (11% new / 3% existing) creates misaligned incentives and may discourage customer retention focus
- 04MINOROnly 4 franchised units with 300% YoY growth suggests extremely early stage — statistically meaningless sample size and unproven model
- 05HIGHGoing Concern = FALSE status indicates potential financial instability or recent restructuring at franchisor level
- 06MINORHigh initial franchise fee ($39,500) combined with opaque financials increases downside risk
