Bottom line
- Total investment $360K – $493K including a $45K franchise fee, 6.5% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 76/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 2 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
Sasquatch Strength presents HIGH RISK due to a micro-franchise system (5 units), active litigation, going concern issues, and complete financial opacity that prevents due diligence.
