Bottom line

  • Total investment $23K – $62K including a $10K franchise fee.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 64/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 4 loans (below the industry average).
  • System contracting at -8.7% CAGR over 3 years. Investigate whether closures are franchisor-driven (consolidation) or franchisee-driven (economics).

ROIC above 100% usually means the revenue figure is a system-wide aggregate or top-cohort number rather than a single-unit average. Verify the "Revenue · per unit" field against the brand's FDD Item 19 detail tables before relying on this output.

Risk & Legal

64
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE64 / 100

Declining unit count, undisclosed financials, and regulatory litigation create meaningful concerns about system health and franchisee profitability sustainability.

Score breakdown · what drove the 64 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINORUnit count declining 2.0% YoY (147 units) suggests system contraction and potential market saturation or franchisee dissatisfaction
  2. 02MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) prevents validation of ROI claims and profitability benchmarks
  3. 03HIGHLitigation with Washington State regarding non-recruit provisions indicates franchisor-franchisee disputes and potential enforcement issues
  4. 04MINORLow royalty fee ($400/month = $4,800/year) suggests thin franchisor margins and potential underinvestment in franchisee support
  5. 05MINORRelatively low franchise fee ($10,000) combined with capital requirement up to $61,900 indicates high franchisee financial risk without proven unit economics
