Risk & Legal

47
Risk · 0-100
STRONG47 / 100

Undisclosed profitability metrics, prior disclosure litigation, and small system size create material uncertainty about franchisee earnings potential and franchisor stability.

Score breakdown · what drove the 47 / 100 rating

  1. 01MEDNo Item 19 (average net income) disclosed — impossible to validate 10% royalty burden against actual profitability
  2. 02HIGH2022 litigation alleging franchisor non-compliance with disclosure obligations raises questions about transparency and regulatory adherence
  3. 03MEDModest unit growth (15% YoY) with only 23 total units suggests limited scale and market validation
  4. 04MINORHigh royalty rate (10%) combined with unknown net income creates risk of negative cash flow for franchisees
  5. 05HIGHGoing Concern status may indicate franchisor financial stress despite growth claims
