What drove the 75/100 rating

Risk Score Breakdown

  1. 01HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — indicates potential financial instability or operational viability issues at corporate level
  2. 02MEDOnly 4 units in the entire system suggests extremely limited scale, unproven business model, and insufficient data for ROI validation
  3. 03MINORZero financial disclosure (no Item 19 average revenue/net income) prevents accurate return-on-investment assessment and is a major transparency red flag
  4. 04MINORHigh investment range ($105,725–$209,750) relative to system size creates disproportionate risk with minimal operational track record
  5. 05MINORUnknown unit growth trajectory indicates no clear expansion strategy or inability to attract new franchisees
  6. 06MED7% royalty fee on undisclosed revenue makes it impossible to model profitability or compare competitiveness
