Bottom line
- Total investment $304K – $627K including a $40K franchise fee, 3.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 67/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal
Fusabowl presents high financial risk due to going concern status, micro-scale system, undisclosed unit economics, and lack of territorial protection.

- 02MEDOnly 7 units system-wide suggests minimal scale, weak brand recognition, and limited support infrastructure

- 04MINORTerritory not protected creates direct competition risk between franchisees and cannibalizes sales
- 05MINORWide investment range ($303K–$627K) indicates inconsistent site costs and unpredictable startup expenses
- 06MINORUnknown unit growth trajectory raises questions about system viability and franchisee retention
