- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.

Overview
About
Franchisees operate roofing and construction service businesses, managing residential and/or commercial roofing projects, repairs, and installations. Day-to-day operations include customer acquisition, project estimation, crew management, quality control, and either managing their own projects or paying higher royalties (23% vs 20%) for the franchisor to provide project management oversight.

Risk & Legal
JBL Roofing presents HIGH CAUTION risk due to missing financial disclosures (Item 19), minimal system size (7 units), extreme royalty rates (20-23%), no territory protection, and unresolved going concern status.
Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosed (Item 19 missing) — impossible to validate ROI on $34-71K investment
- 02MINORExtremely high royalty rate (20-23%) with only 7 units — suggests franchisor relies on royalties rather than franchise growth strategy
- 03MINOROnly 7 franchised units with unknown growth trajectory — very small system with unclear viability
- 04MINORNo territory protection — franchisees compete directly with each other and franchisor in same markets
- 05HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — potential financial instability at franchisor level
- 06MINORHigh franchise fee ($25K) relative to total investment ($34-71K) — 36-73% of minimum investment goes to franchisor upfront
- 07MED10-year term with no disclosed renewal rate — difficult to assess long-term viability commitment
