Risk & Legal

65
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE65 / 100

Moms On The Run is a contracting franchise system with severe transparency gaps, declining unit count, and no disclosed profitability data — suggesting weak unit economics and potential systemic operational issues.

Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINORUnit count collapsed 30.6% YoY (49 units remaining) — indicates serious system-wide distress or poor unit economics
  2. 02MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure — inability or unwillingness to provide Item 19 financial performance data is a major transparency red flag
  3. 03MINORRoyalty structure incentivizes growth but declining units suggest franchisees cannot profitably reach 60+ customer threshold
  4. 04MINORLow initial investment ($13.9K-$21.1K) may indicate low barrier to entry AND low barrier to exit/failure
  5. 05MINOR5-year term is shorter than industry standard (typically 10 years) — suggests franchisor or franchisees lack long-term confidence
  6. 06HIGHGoing Concern status is positive but combined with 30% unit decline, indicates financial instability at corporate level
