Bottom line

  • Total investment $129K – $259K including a $60K franchise fee, 8.0% 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

65
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE65 / 100

Floral Image presents elevated risk due to lack of financial transparency, tiny system size, high investment-to-unit ratio, and exposure to a structurally declining retail category.

Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating

  1. 01MEDNo Item 19 financial disclosure (average revenue and net income not disclosed) - prevents ROI validation
  2. 02MINOROnly 21 units system-wide with unknown growth trajectory - suggests stagnant or declining franchise model
  3. 03MINORHigh initial investment ($128.6K-$258.9K) relative to system size - concentration risk if units fail
  4. 04MINOR8% royalty on gross (or minimum) structure penalizes low-revenue locations and lacks transparency
  5. 05MED10-year term is lengthy commitment with limited performance visibility and no franchisee success benchmarks
  6. 06MEDFloral retail sector experiencing secular decline due to e-commerce disruption (1-800-Flowers, FTD online)
