Score breakdown · what drove the 54 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNet income not disclosed in FDD — unable to validate $153K revenue translates to acceptable profit after $475/month royalty (~$5,700/year) plus operating costs
- 02MINORAnemic unit growth of 2.6% YoY suggests market saturation or franchisee satisfaction issues in a mature 490-unit system
- 03MINORHigh franchise fee ($46,900) relative to monthly royalty ($475) indicates front-loaded franchisor revenue model with weak recurring income alignment
- 04MINORNo breakdown of revenue by territory type, geography, or franchisee tenure — $153K average may mask underperformance of newer units
- 05MINOR7-year term is shorter than industry standard (10 years typical) — increases renewal risk and suggests franchisor may be managing churn
