What drove the 75/100 rating

  2. 02HIGHGoing concern status is FALSE, suggesting franchisor financial instability or operational challenges
  3. 03MINORNo Item 19 disclosure of average revenue/net income makes ROI analysis impossible and hides performance data
  4. 04MINORWide investment range ($231.6K-$700.2K) with no franchisee success metrics creates uncertainty around actual costs
  5. 05MINORPre-revenue or pre-operational franchise system with no units to validate business model viability
