Bottom line

  • Total investment $5K – $12K including a $0 franchise fee.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 69/100.
  • No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

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.

Overview

About

FranSave appears to operate as a discount or savings-focused retail or service franchise (specific business model unclear from limited data). Franchisees likely manage daily operations including customer service, inventory or service delivery, compliance with brand standards, and payment of variable royalties based on revenue performance.

Risk & Legal

69
Risk · 0-100
CAUTION69 / 100

FranSave presents HIGH CAUTION risk: a micro-franchise system with no financial disclosure, questionable franchisor stability, unprotected territories, and explosive growth claims that lack substantiation across only 7 units.

Score breakdown · what drove the 69 / 100 rating

  1. 01MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosed (Item 19 missing) — impossible to assess profitability or ROI
  2. 02HIGHGoing Concern indicator is FALSE — suggests potential financial instability or operational uncertainty
  3. 03MINOROnly 7 units system-wide despite 250% YoY growth claim — extremely small, unproven system with minimal track record
  4. 04MINORZero franchise fee is unusual and may indicate difficulty attracting franchisees or lack of franchisor investment in support
  5. 05MINORNo protected territory — direct competition risk from other franchisees in same geographic area
  6. 06MINORComplex royalty structure with two options and revenue thresholds creates accounting complexity and potential disputes
  7. 07MINOR20-year term is unusually long given system immaturity and lack of performance data
