What drove the 75/100 rating

Risk Score Breakdown

  1. 01MINORZero operating units despite 20-year franchise model indicates system has never successfully launched or has completely collapsed
  2. 02MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) prevents validation of ROI claims and suggests franchisor cannot demonstrate unit profitability
  3. 03MINORWide investment range ($268K–$3.3M) without corresponding unit economics makes financial planning impossible
  4. 04HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, indicating material doubts about franchisor's ability to continue operations
  5. 05MINOR5.5% royalty on gross rooms revenue is standard but unverifiable without actual operating unit performance data
  6. 06HIGHNo disclosed litigation does not offset zero-unit risk; may indicate pre-revenue startup or defunct system
  7. 07MINOR20-year term locks franchisee into relationship with unproven franchisor with no track record
