Bottom line

  • Total investment $267K – $734K including a $20K franchise fee.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 64/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 16 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.

Overview

About

Franchisees operate quick-service pizza restaurants under the Perri's brand, managing daily food preparation, customer service, inventory, and staffing. Core responsibilities include executing the pizzeria menu, maintaining quality standards, managing local marketing within protected territory, and remitting daily royalties calculated as a percentage of pizza slice pricing rather than fixed revenue percentages.

Risk & Legal

64
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE64 / 100

Going Concern warning combined with tiny unit count, no financial disclosures, and unusual royalty structure creates high uncertainty about franchisor viability and franchisee profitability.

Score breakdown · what drove the 64 / 100 rating

  1. 01HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — indicates material uncertainty about franchisor's ability to continue operations
  2. 02MEDNo Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — cannot validate average unit economics or ROI claims
  3. 03MINOROnly 9 units system-wide with unknown growth trajectory — extremely small and potentially stagnant network
  4. 04MINORUnusual royalty structure (price of 8 cheese pizza slices × 1.25) — difficult to forecast, creates payment unpredictability
  5. 05MINORWide investment range ($267K-$734K) without clear cost drivers — suggests inconsistent unit economics or undefined buildout standards
  6. 06MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure — red flag for underperforming or inconsistent unit profitability
