Bottom line

- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed. The franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Verdict B (Above Average) with a risk score of 57/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

- 03HIGHGoing Concern flag indicates franchisor financial/operational distress
- 04MINORWide investment range ($199.5K–$464.5K) suggests unclear cost structure or inconsistent unit economics
