Risk & Legal

55
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE55 / 100

Milio's presents caution-level risk due to declining unit count, undisclosed profitability metrics, and franchisor going concern status, despite reasonable revenue and no litigation.

Score breakdown · what drove the 55 / 100 rating

  1. 01MEDUnit count declined 14.3% YoY (19 units) indicating system contraction and potential viability concerns
  2. 02MEDNet income not disclosed in Item 19 — inability to assess actual profitability despite $628k avg revenue
  3. 03HIGHGoing Concern status is False — suggests financial instability or operational uncertainty at franchisor level
  4. 04MINORWide investment range ($111k-$433k) with 6% royalties on $628k revenue = ~$37.7k annual royalties, creating tight margin scenarios
  5. 05MINORSmall unit count (19 stores) limits brand recognition, supply chain leverage, and marketing economy of scale
