Risk & Legal
Pearce Bespoke presents CAUTION-level risk: lack of financial transparency (no Item 19), unconfirmed going concern status, high fees with unclear ROI potential, and rapid growth without disclosed unit economics.

- 03MINORHigh franchise fee ($55,900) combined with wide investment range ($42,919–$128,320) suggests unclear startup costs and poor cost transparency
- 04MINORAggressive royalty structure (10% of sales OR $100/week minimum) creates cash flow pressure on low-revenue units
- 05MEDRapid unit growth (24.3% YoY) without disclosed revenue metrics raises questions about franchisee quality and sustainability
- 06MINORSmall system size (48 units) limits network stability and support infrastructure capacity
