Bottom line

  • Total investment $113K – $124K including a $75K franchise fee, 25.0% ongoing royalty.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 66/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 8 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

66
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE66 / 100

High royalty burden, missing financial disclosures, unprotected territory, and franchisor going concern status create substantial risk for unit profitability and survival.

Score breakdown · what drove the 66 / 100 rating

  1. 01MEDExtremely high royalty rate (25%) combined with undisclosed average revenue creates unclear unit economics and profitability concerns
  2. 02MINORNo Item 19 financial performance disclosure — cannot verify if the 16 operating units are actually profitable or generating claimed returns
  3. 03HIGHGoing Concern designation indicates potential financial instability or business model viability questions at franchisor level
  4. 04MINORUnprotected territory creates direct competition risk — franchisees may cannibalize each other's client base with no geographic safeguards
  5. 05MINORRapid growth (66.7% YoY) with only 16 units suggests nascent system lacking maturity, track record, and operational infrastructure
  6. 06MINORHigh initial investment ($113k-$124k) + 25% royalty burden may be unsustainable for solo coaching practices with variable client acquisition
