Bottom line
- Total investment $315K – $396K including a $25K franchise fee, 5.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 64/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 7 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
PieZoni's presents caution-level risk due to lack of financial transparency, minimal system scale, going concern status, and inability to validate investment returns against disclosed metrics.

- 02HIGHGoing Concern = False indicates potential financial instability or undisclosed restructuring
- 03MEDOnly 15 units across entire system suggests limited scale, brand recognition, and operational maturity
- 04MEDNo disclosed unit growth data raises questions about system momentum and franchisee retention
- 05MINORHigh initial investment range ($315k-$396k) with no transparent profit benchmarks creates misalignment risk
- 06MED5% royalty on undisclosed revenue base means franchisees can't predict actual costs or margins
