Risk & Legal
Minimal franchisee financial transparency, micro-scale system with unvalidated growth trajectory, and unexplained going concern status create substantial due diligence gaps.
Score breakdown · what drove the 53 / 100 rating
- 01MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) prevents ROI validation and financial benchmarking
- 02MEDOnly 17 units total represents extremely small franchise system with limited data reliability and support infrastructure
- 03MINOR112.5% YoY unit growth appears artificially high given tiny base (likely only ~8 units one year ago) and may not reflect sustainable expansion
- 04HIGHGoing Concern flag set to False — requires clarification on franchisor's financial stability and operational viability
- 05MINORHigh franchise fee ($69,500) relative to total investment ($116,300–$196,600) creates significant upfront risk with unproven unit economics
- 06MINORTiered royalty structure incentivizes growth but provides no transparency on what percentage of franchisees reach each tier
