Sparkle Squad
Bottom line
- Total investment $161K – $185K including a $50K franchise fee, 10.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 62/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 2 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
Sparkle Squad presents CAUTION-level risk due to absence of financial performance data, undisclosed going concern issues, minimal unit count with unknown growth, and high royalty burden on an unproven revenue model.
