What drove the 75/100 rating

Risk Score Breakdown

  1. 01MINORRecent Maryland Consent Order (September 2024) for selling unregistered franchise indicates regulatory non-compliance and suggests potential systemic disclosure failures
  2. 02MINOROnly 3 operating units with unknown growth trajectory suggests minimal system traction and high failure risk for new investors
  3. 03MEDNo Item 19 financial performance disclosure (Avg Revenue and Net Income not disclosed) prevents informed ROI analysis and suggests franchisor cannot demonstrate unit profitability
  4. 04HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, indicating potential financial viability concerns at corporate level and ability to support franchisees
  5. 05MEDHigh initial investment ($81,750-$140,300) combined with 6% royalty on undisclosed revenue creates significant downside risk with no earnings benchmarks
