Bottom line

  • Total investment $219K – $375K including a $40K franchise fee.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 74/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 4 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

74
Risk · 0-100
CAUTION74 / 100

Jabz Boxing presents HIGH RISK due to franchisor's going concern status, litigation history involving territorial misrepresentation, undisclosed financial performance, minimal unit growth, and opacity around franchisee profitability metrics.

Score breakdown · what drove the 74 / 100 rating

  1. 01HIGHLitigation history: Three arbitrations involving sister brand (Zippy Shell) alleging breach of contract, misrepresentation of territory exclusivity, and fraudulent inducement—suggests systemic compliance issues across franchisor's portfolio
  2. 02HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE: Indicates franchisor may lack financial stability or has disclosed material doubts about ability to continue operations
  3. 03MEDNo financial transparency: Average revenue and net income not disclosed; impossible to validate ROI on $219K-$374.6K investment with 6% royalty minimum $500/month ($6K annually)
  4. 04MEDMinimal unit base with unknown growth: Only 13 units with no disclosed growth trajectory raises scalability and system viability questions
  5. 05MINORHigh royalty floor relative to small operators: $500/month minimum royalty ($6K/year) represents 2.7% of minimum investment annually before profit—unsustainable for struggling locations
  6. 06MEDInadequate disclosure in FDD: Missing Item 19 (financial performance) prevents franchisee from benchmarking location profitability or validating franchisor revenue claims
