What drove the 72/100 rating
Risk Score Breakdown
- 01MEDOnly 3 franchise units in system with no disclosed growth trajectory — suggests minimal market validation or severe attrition
- 02MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) — impossible to assess ROI on $114,400-$265,000 investment
- 03MINORHigh franchise fee ($55,000) plus 7% royalty with $10,000 minimum annual floor creates significant fixed costs with unknown break-even point
- 04MINOR10-year term is lengthy given franchise's micro-scale and lack of proven unit economics
- 05HIGHNo disclosed going concern issues but 3-unit system suggests franchisor may struggle to provide adequate support infrastructure
