Risk & Legal
Pest Authority presents caution-level risk due to undisclosed franchisee financials, franchisor litigation history, and escalating fee structures that lack transparent ROI benchmarks.
Score breakdown · what drove the 62 / 100 rating
- 01MINORNo financial performance disclosure (Item 19) — cannot validate $40.5K-$105.7K investment against actual franchisee returns
- 02HIGHPredecessor litigation involving TMA and Soccer Shots regarding franchise registration compliance and non-compete enforcement raises franchisor operational/legal risk
- 03MEDAggressive unit growth (31.6% YoY) without disclosed average revenue suggests potential saturation or franchisee recruitment over retention strategy
- 04MINOREscalating minimum royalty fees ($200→$700 over 7 years) combined with 7.5% gross revenue royalty creates rising expense burden independent of profitability
- 05HIGHGoing concern status is FALSE — ambiguity about franchisor financial stability and parent company backing
