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

76
Risk · 0-100
CAUTION76 / 100

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.

Score breakdown · what drove the 76 / 100 rating

  1. 01MEDOnly 5 units system-wide indicates extremely limited track record and scaling capability
  2. 02HIGHActive litigation (June 2022) involving lease assumption disputes suggests franchisor-franchisee relationship strain
  3. 03HIGHGoing Concern = False status is a critical warning sign of financial instability
  4. 04MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure prevents ROI validation on $359,575-$493,000 investment
  5. 05MED6.5% royalty on undisclosed revenues means franchisees cannot model profitability or breakeven
  6. 06MINORLack of Item 19 financial performance representations eliminates accountability and comparability
  7. 07MINOR5-year term with protected territory may lock franchisees into underperforming relationship
