Bottom line

- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed. The franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Verdict A (Top Quintile) with a risk score of 42/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Score breakdown · what drove the 42 / 100 rating
- 01MINORNo Item 19 financial disclosure (average revenue and net income not provided) — impossible to validate ROI claims or profitability benchmarks
- 02HIGHGoing concern status is FALSE, suggesting potential financial instability or operational viability questions at corporate level
- 03MINOROnly 30 units system-wide with unknown growth trajectory — indicates either nascent brand or stagnation; insufficient scale data
- 04MINORWide investment range ($116K-$717.5K spread of 518%) suggests inconsistent unit economics or unclear cost structures
- 05MED6% royalty on undisclosed revenues creates earnings opacity — franchisees cannot benchmark performance against peers
- 06HIGHNo litigation disclosed but combined with going concern flag raises questions about whether legal issues are being withheld
