Bottom line
- Total investment $100K – $209K including a $35K franchise fee, 5.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 75/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal
ShippingShop presents extreme risk due to going concern status, single-unit system with no growth, absent financial disclosures, and unproven unit economics—avoid unless franchisor provides comprehensive Item 19 data and explains going concern issues.
Score breakdown · what drove the 75 / 100 rating
- 01HIGHGoing Concern status indicates material uncertainty about franchisor's ability to continue operations
- 02MINOROnly 1 unit in system with unknown growth trajectory suggests failed or stalled expansion
- 03MINORNo Item 19 (average revenue/income disclosure) provided — cannot assess unit economics or ROI potential
- 04MEDHigh initial investment ($99.5K–$209K) paired with undisclosed earnings creates severe risk asymmetry
- 05MINOR5% royalty on gross sales with no profitability data means franchisee bears revenue risk without visibility into actual net returns
- 06MEDExtremely limited franchisee base (1 unit) prevents meaningful validation and suggests pilot-stage or failed system
