Risk & Legal
Ranger Guard presents HIGH RISK due to an extremely small unit base (3 units), absent financial disclosures, going concern status uncertainty, and lack of demonstrated system profitability — making ROI projections impossible to validate.
Score breakdown · what drove the 72 / 100 rating
- 01MINOROnly 3 operating units indicates extremely small, unproven system with minimal track record
- 02MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosed — inability or unwillingness to provide Item 19 is major red flag
- 03HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, suggesting potential financial viability concerns at franchisor level
- 04MINORHigh initial investment ($151,700-$214,500) paired with opaque financial performance creates severe ROI uncertainty
- 05MINORAmbiguous royalty structure ('greater of 4% or minimum fee') lacks transparency — minimum fee amount unknown
- 06MEDNo disclosed system growth trajectory; 3 units could indicate stagnation or contraction
- 07MINOR10-year term locks franchisee into relationship with unproven franchisor model
