Bottom line
- Total investment $33K – $45K including a $20K franchise fee, 10.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 64/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 2 loans (below the industry average).
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal

- 03MINORNo protected territory — direct competition from other franchisees in same market
- 04MINORTiered royalty structure (10% down to 4%) creates incentive misalignment and suggests franchisor dependency on high-volume units
- 05MED10-year term is longer than industry standard (5-7 years typical) with limited flexibility
- 06MEDLow franchise fee ($20k) relative to total investment suggests thin franchisor margins and limited support infrastructure
