What drove the 63/100 rating

Risk Score Breakdown

  1. 01MINORNo Item 19 financial disclosure (avg revenue/net income not provided) — cannot validate ROI claims or profitability benchmarks
  2. 02MINORMinimal unit growth (4.2% YoY on only 26 units) suggests stagnant or struggling system with weak recruitment
  3. 03HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — potential financial instability or operational uncertainty at franchisor level
  4. 04MINORLow franchise fee ($0) may indicate either aggressive growth strategy OR inability to command franchise fees (weak brand equity)
  5. 05MINORExtremely wide investment range ($52,400–$82,600, ~58% variance) suggests inconsistent startup costs and poor franchisor standardization
  6. 06MINORSmall unit count (26) limits network effects, peer support, and supplier leverage for franchisees
