Bottom line

  • Total investment $202K – $295K including a $45K franchise fee, 6.0% ongoing royalty.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated STRONG with a risk score of 51/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 36 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

51
Risk · 0-100
STRONG51 / 100

Early-stage lash franchise with aggressive growth, zero financial transparency, and corporate stability concerns — insufficient data to justify $200K+ investment.

Score breakdown · what drove the 51 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINORNo Item 19 financial performance disclosure (average revenue and net income not provided) — impossible to validate ROI claims
  2. 02HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, indicating potential financial stability issues at corporate level
  3. 03MINORRapid unit growth of 41.7% YoY with only 17 total units suggests early-stage system with unproven unit economics
  4. 04MINORHigh initial investment ($202K-$295K) combined with 6% royalties and no performance benchmarks creates profitability uncertainty
  5. 05MINORSmall franchisee base (17 units) limits ability to validate claims or identify systemic problems before expansion
