Risk & Legal
Early-stage juice/beverage franchise with only one operating unit, franchisor going concern questions, and high fee structure relative to system maturity — high risk of failure with limited proof of concept.
Score breakdown · what drove the 60 / 100 rating
- 01MINOROnly 1 franchised unit reported — system shows zero growth trajectory and no proof of replicable model
- 02HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — suggests franchisor financial instability or viability questions
- 03MINORHigh franchise fee ($59,500) + royalties ($500-$2,000/month) against unproven single-unit system creates recovery risk
- 04HIGHNo disclosed litigation but single-unit system lacks track record to assess legal exposure
- 05MINORAverage net income of $87,702 is attractive but based on n=1 — statistically meaningless and likely outlier
- 06MINOR10-year term locks capital into unvalidated brand with no multi-unit success stories
