Sculpture Hospitality
Bottom line
- Total investment $46K – $65K including a $40K franchise fee, 8.0% 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 8 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
Declining unit count, absent financial disclosures, litigation history, and compressed term structure present material risks despite protected territories.
Score breakdown · what drove the 64 / 100 rating
- 01MINORUnit count declining (-1.1% YoY) suggests system contraction and potential market saturation or franchisee dissatisfaction
- 02MINORNo Item 19 (average revenue/net income disclosure) prevents assessment of actual profitability and ROI on $45.5k-$64.5k investment
- 03HIGHLitigation history including breach of contract settlement ($126,123) and regulatory consent order for improper franchise sales registration indicates legal/compliance issues
- 04MEDHigh 8% royalty on undisclosed revenue base creates opacity around true take-home income for franchisees
- 05MINORShort 3-year term limits long-term planning and creates renewal uncertainty; high renewal failure risk typical in short-term agreements
- 06MINORFranchise fee ($40,000) represents 62-88% of total investment, leaving minimal working capital for startup operations
