Bottom line
- Total investment $131K – $182K including a $50K franchise fee, 7.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 62/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 2 loans (below the industry average).
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal
Early-stage painting franchise with minimal operational transparency, no financial benchmarks, questionable franchisor financial health, and insufficient unit density to validate the business model.
Score breakdown · what drove the 62 / 100 rating
- 01MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) — cannot validate ROI claims or benchmark performance
- 02MEDOnly 11 units system-wide with modest 14.3% YoY growth — indicates nascent/struggling system with limited operational data
- 03HIGHGoing Concern status is False — suggests potential financial instability at franchisor level
- 04MINORHigh initial investment ($130,950–$182,400) relative to tiny unit base creates elevated franchisee risk
- 05MED7-year term with protected territory may lock franchisees into underperforming locations with limited exit options
- 06MINORTiered royalty structure (7%→6%→5%) incentivizes franchisees to reach $500K+ revenue quickly or face higher percentage cost burden
