What drove the 60/100 rating

Risk Score Breakdown

  1. 01MINOROnly 1 franchised unit reported — system shows zero growth trajectory and no proof of replicable model
  2. 02HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — suggests franchisor financial instability or viability questions
  3. 03MINORHigh franchise fee ($59,500) + royalties ($500-$2,000/month) against unproven single-unit system creates recovery risk
  4. 04HIGHNo disclosed litigation but single-unit system lacks track record to assess legal exposure
  5. 05MINORAverage net income of $87,702 is attractive but based on n=1 — statistically meaningless and likely outlier
  6. 06MINOR10-year term locks capital into unvalidated brand with no multi-unit success stories
