Overview
About
Franchisees operate spray tan and organic beauty bar locations, providing UV-free tanning services, skincare treatments, and cosmetic products. Daily operations include client appointments, equipment maintenance, inventory management of organic/clean beauty products, and staff scheduling. Revenue depends on service pricing, client retention, and retail product sales.

Risk & Legal
Small, rapidly expanding system with regulatory history, no financial performance disclosure, and unclear unit economics creates elevated risk despite 5-year term and protected territory.
Score breakdown · what drove the 62 / 100 rating
- 01MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) — impossible to validate ROI on $106.6k-$307.9k investment
- 02MED2017 regulatory violation: franchise sold without registration and missing required disclosures to Washington State — suggests compliance gaps or aggressive sales practices
- 03MINORRapid growth (66.7% YoY) with only 12 units is unsustainable trajectory and may indicate aggressive recruitment over unit profitability
- 04MINOR8% royalty on gross (not net) revenues begins day 91 — franchisees pay even if unprofitable, creating cash flow risk
- 05MEDOnly 12 franchise units total — extremely small system with limited peer benchmarking and high failure impact per unit
- 06MINORNo disclosure of average unit volume, payback period, or break-even timeline — financial viability is opaque
