Bottom line
- Total investment $332K – $580K including a $35K franchise fee, 5.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 75/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal
This is a high-risk franchise with only 1 operating unit, going concern status, no financial disclosures, and unprotected territory—indicators of a struggling or pre-revenue system seeking capital.
Score breakdown · what drove the 75 / 100 rating
- 01HIGHGoing Concern status indicates franchisor financial distress or viability uncertainty
- 02MINOROnly 1 unit in system suggests brand is either brand new, failed to scale, or actively shrinking

- 04MINORUnprotected territory creates direct competition risk from other franchisees in same market
- 05MEDHigh initial investment range ($332k-$580k) with no disclosed revenue benchmarks creates misalignment of risk/reward
- 06HIGHNo litigation disclosure combined with going concern status raises transparency concerns
- 07MINOR5-year term is shorter than industry standard, suggesting franchisor uncertainty about long-term viability
