What drove the 59/100 rating
Risk Score Breakdown
- 01MINORUnprotected territory creates direct competition risk and customer cannibalization with only 9 existing units
- 02MINORMinimal unit growth (9 units) suggests weak franchisee recruitment, satisfaction, or brand traction despite operating history
- 03MINORHigh initial investment ($284k-$675k) paired with modest average net income ($74.7k) yields 3.5-9 year payback period with significant downside risk
- 04MEDNo Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — cannot validate claimed averages or assess franchisee success distribution
- 05MINOR6% royalty on $480k average revenue = $28.8k annual fees, consuming 38.5% of average net income and limiting franchisee profitability
