What drove the 59/100 rating
Risk Score Breakdown
- 01MEDNo Item 19 (Average Revenue/Net Income) disclosed — impossible to evaluate actual profitability or ROI
- 02HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, indicating potential financial instability at franchisor level
- 03MINORWide investment range ($40K-$290K) suggests unclear unit economics or highly variable startup costs
- 04MEDOnly 20 units system-wide is very small; 38.5% YoY growth may not offset limited support infrastructure
- 05HIGHNo litigation disclosed is positive, but combined with other factors suggests early-stage or underdeveloped franchise model
- 06MED5% royalty on undisclosed revenue means franchisees cannot project cash flow realistically
