Score breakdown · what drove the 43 / 100 verdict
- 01MEDOnly 3 units in system with unknown growth trajectory indicates extremely limited scale and unproven model replicability
- 02MEDNo disclosed net income despite $472k average revenue raises profitability questions and suggests potential margin pressure from 6.5% royalty
- 03HIGHGoing concern status is false/unclear, suggesting potential financial instability at franchisor level
- 04MINORHigh investment range ($111,900-$244,450) relative to only 3 franchises suggests unproven unit economics and ROI risk
- 05MINORNo litigation disclosure combined with micro-franchise size makes it difficult to assess franchisor track record and dispute history

What do Let’s Get Moving franchise owners earn?
Let’s Get Moving does not disclose average franchise owner earnings in their FDD Item 19. Not all franchisors are required to make financial performance representations. We recommend asking existing franchisees directly about their financial experience.
What is Item 19 in the Let’s Get Moving FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets.

What is Let’s Get Moving's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Let’s Get Moving (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.

As of their most recent FDD filing, Let’s Get Moving has 3 total units in the United States, including 2 franchised units and 1 company-owned units. 3 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
