What drove the 34/100 rating

Risk Score Breakdown

  1. 01MEDNet income not disclosed in FDD Item 19 — unable to verify profitability claims against $1.35M average revenue
  2. 02MINORHigh initial investment range ($302K-$860K) with royalty structure (5% or flat fee, whichever greater) creates unpredictable profit margins
  3. 03MINORRelatively small franchise system (47 units) limits brand recognition and purchasing power; YoY growth of 87.5% may not be sustainable
