Risk & Legal
Extreme caution warranted: micro-scale staffing franchise with only 2 units, undisclosed profitability, franchisor going concern issues, and unclear unit economics make this a highly speculative investment with minimal operational track record.
Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating
- 01MINOROnly 2 units in system indicates extremely early-stage/unproven franchise model with no growth trajectory data
- 02MEDNo average net income disclosed despite average revenue of $102,888—profitability opaque and concerning
- 03HIGHGoing Concern status is False, suggesting potential financial instability or uncertain viability of franchisor
- 04MINOR5.5% royalty on modest $102k average revenue creates thin margin vulnerability ($5,659 annual royalty)
- 05MINORWide investment range ($74,883–$132,300) suggests inconsistent unit economics or unclear cost structure
- 06MINORFranchise fee of $15,000 on $102k revenue represents 14.6% payback period risk if sales don't materialize
