What drove the 72/100 rating
Risk Score Breakdown
- 01MINORUnit count declining 6.0% YoY (47 units) signals contracting system and potential franchisee dissatisfaction
- 02HIGHActive litigation with $1M+ damages claim pending bench ruling creates uncertainty and potential liability exposure for franchise system
- 03MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosure (missing Item 19) prevents assessment of franchisee profitability and ROI
- 04MINORUnprotected territory creates direct competition risk between franchisees and headwinds for unit economics
- 05MEDHigh royalty rate (3.7%) combined with undisclosed revenue makes cost-benefit analysis impossible for prospective franchisees
- 06MINOR5-year term length is relatively short, creating renewal uncertainty and reducing long-term planning ability
