Bottom line

  • Total investment $116K – $718K including a $58K franchise fee, 6.0% 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

G.L.O.M. Global presents elevated risk due to complete absence of financial transparency (no Item 19), murky corporate financial health (going concern flag), minimal system scale (30 units), and undefined profitability metrics.

Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINORNo Item 19 financial disclosure (average revenue and net income not provided) — impossible to validate ROI claims or profitability benchmarks
  2. 02HIGHGoing concern status is FALSE, suggesting potential financial instability or operational viability questions at corporate level
  3. 03MINOROnly 30 units system-wide with unknown growth trajectory — indicates either nascent brand or stagnation; insufficient scale data
  4. 04MINORWide investment range ($116K-$717.5K spread of 518%) suggests inconsistent unit economics or unclear cost structures
  5. 05MED6% royalty on undisclosed revenues creates earnings opacity — franchisees cannot benchmark performance against peers
  6. 06HIGHNo litigation disclosed but combined with going concern flag raises questions about whether legal issues are being withheld
