Bottom line

  • Total investment $102K – $516K including a $10K franchise fee, 6.0% ongoing royalty.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 65/100.
  • No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal

65
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE65 / 100

Pet Fresh Dog Wash presents meaningful risk due to lack of financial transparency, minimal system size, and unverified investment returns despite a reasonable royalty rate and protected territory.

Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINORNo financial performance disclosure (Item 19) — cannot verify $101k-$515k investment justification or ROI claims
  2. 02MINORExtremely small system (8 units) with unknown growth trajectory — insufficient data on unit economics or franchisee success rates
  3. 03HIGHGoing concern status is FALSE, but lack of transparency on franchisor financials raises sustainability questions
  4. 04MINORWide investment range ($415k spread) suggests highly variable build-out costs with unclear cost justification
  5. 05MEDNo disclosed average revenue or net income prevents realistic profitability assessment for prospective franchisees
